Hi everyone, first time posting on this site.
I recently bought a (florida?)gar for 8SGD
Here she is!

I'm curious about if this can be kept with 2 Channa Bleheri(rainbow snakehead)
well, I'm getting a 200cm x 25 x 30 tank and wanted to keep a few monster fishes inside.The rainbow snake head really caught my eye and I'm wondering if these two fishes can go well together.:naughty:

What kind on Gar is that? How big are the Rainbow Snakeheads? The temperament and size of gars are different more info is needed before I can give a good answer.

A 25 cm wide tank wont be enough for a gar you're going to need a wider tank

The rainbow snake head grow to a maximum of 20 cm but I might be getting smaller ones.
What is the width recommended for keeping the gar? Since you guys have stated that 25 isn't wide enough..
That gar I have is a Florida gar I believe..

The bare minimum would be a 60 cm wide tank seeing as the gar will get upwards of 45 cm and then it still needs room to turn around... so 60 cm is very necessary

The dimensions 200cm x 25 x 30 are pretty odd, especially the 25 and 30, which doesn't go well with monster fishes at all...

The cabinet I put my tank on is made of wood and around 70 cm wide. Bottom is shelving and I'm pretty sure it can't hold the weight of a 200x70x60 tank as that was my original intention
