I have an 1 gator gar 2 two oscar albino copper 1 peacock bass kelberi before 1 paroon shark just ended up I saw the fins where already damaged when I first got it in the fish store it just died quickly after a few days (maybe the oscar attack my paroon:)/ and I have heard from experts moss water is healthy for this fish that have in my pond thats why my water is turning into moss cause of the sunlight and I clean it after 3 to 4 weeks and on feeding time there well doing in feeding time no signs of aggression and other I feed them some worms and pellets only and I feed them in the morning with some worms and in the evening I feed them pellets only in the evening per each day and two days break after sometimes they just leave the worm in the surface in the pond so I feed them in the afternoon.

Welcome aboard
That's probably algae growing from the nitrates produced from waste from the fish. Do you do water changes?
Have you tested your water parameters?
The gator gar may get aggressive as it grows.

For a short answer no, Too little space and territorial nature.
