Yes I tried betta fish same size as mine but the gar had it in he's mouth by the time I grabbed the net only the tail was hanging out so I let him eat it,get anything that's too big for him to swallow because he's mouth stretches pretty big nothing to aggressive or you'll end up with both fish hurt,I had mines with tyre track eel,fire eel,yellow rail cudas,red tail cudas, marble gars like the ones the other person posted they aren't called spotted nor Florida the ones they posted were marble gars just like hujetas just diff color,bichirs like pollis,albino and delhezi bichirs,well that's what I had mine with anyway lol

Just read the whole thing before you call some one out on something and really you are going to tell be 5 gals of water is going to make a difference in keeping a gar :):)

gars don't just lay around all day. i have tanks full of them and they move around the same if not more then my hujeta ever did.

to the op

i had mine with mbuna africans and african peacocks. no problem. mine took shrimp after some work and it eventually broke its back on a jump. i tried to have a small jardini grow out with it. didn't work. i have an empty 75gal that i am thinking about doing a shoal of them with african peacocks.
