mentioned to me before i got this gars that florida gar is the smallest of all gar, they rarely reach 2' in home aquarium, as for longnose gar they can reach 26" in home aquarium but it take time for them to reach that size, longnose will hit 18" really quick maybe their first year, then slow down, but they will be skinny, they are like teug but in gar family, lolz
Longnose is the second longest gar only to the alligator gar. Pretty sure they get around 6' been awhile. You are right about floridas being the smallest though. If you're planning to put them in a 4' wide tank for life, it won't work. Also I see you have a jar with the bass and silvers. This likely won't work out. Depends on your specimen specifically. But if he doesn't outright kill anyone he may bully them and stress them enough to push them over the edge or just cause a lot of stress which you shouldn't like. That's on average but there can be exceptions. If you rehome him you'll have an issue with having only two aros. I've not seen a situation where it worked out. But maybe you'll be the first. You can try but I recommend against it for the sake of the fish. Nice to see you getting a bigger tank to accommodate them. A lot of people myself included suggest 8' minimum for silvers might be something to keep in mind.
Do you mean the longnose or the Florida?
