you're asking pretty basic questions, have u tried the search tool? i'd pay attention to the results on sexing gar too. how big is the tank? and is that combination of fishes going to be anything other than temporary?

Florida gar. no way to externally sex gars, so you don't necessarily have a male and female...there's no way for you to know unless they spawn, and that's unlikely.
