I had one that we "rescued" who was about 3.5' in a 10'x5'x3' and the tank looked too small for him. A fish best left to the likes of public aquariums imho and the very rare type of fish keeper with a trop pond. Makes me sad that I see so many tiny ones in shops!

thankfully mine is now enjoying life in a 15,000l display in a public aquarium due to connections in the industry. Sadly for most the outcome is not so good.

The issue isn't what else you have, it's whether or not you'll be able to house a fish that'll top five feet long. I sure hope that you can, since your alligator gar has the potential to get twice that size.
Also, pretty sure that aro will swallow the gar.
