hey everybody, so i recently got a pair of spotted gar their about 5" each, and are in a 125, with 3 senegal bichers, and ideas for what else to put in with them, they will be upgrading to a bigger tank in the near future !
You could get some other gars, some bichirs, and maybe a South American lungfish.
Most other fishes have a bit more risk associated with keeping them with gars, so I would try many other combinations that some people say work out great despite them being the exception to the rule.
5'' spotted gar at this time of year? did you buy those Florida gar from the fish galery or the DNA?
BTW you need to put them in a smaller tank(maybe a 20 gallon is enough for now) so they can't build up speed and bang into the glass and break their back or kill themselves. And about tank mate, I would wait until they get about 8-10'' to keep them with any different fish species.
