Haha counting down already. Am interested to see how they fare besides my cubans, which do not display much-if any aggression

i would say that Madding's situation is somewhat of an anomaly, although there is little info available aside from our observations on gar behavior (particularly since captivity is very different from the wild).
having kept many groups of TPGs (both Richard and myself and also our bichir-master friend Ricky) have not really noticed serious aggression from TPGs compared to other Atractosteus or other gars on average (LEP genus gars tend to be a bit more timid compared to Atractosteus).
Cubans I have kept have always been more aggressive; the current setup (CBGs which are now about 7 years old) has them being the most aggressive in the tank second only to the Croc II.
all that being said, it would take a while for serious issues to develop since you guys are getting YOY fish. when is the arrival date???--
