Thanks. I'll consider another gar once my silver arowanas get bigger

My FRT was the same way until I tried keeping it with gars. Others have reciprocated that there is something about the gars that draws the FRT's interest. Likely the fact that they don't move much and rest on the bottom.

Try it if you want, but I thought my FRT was a gentle giant as well (still is with other fish) but he hit four gars in about a week and I'm not talking about frayed fins, I'm talking about half of tail fins missing.

You are right! One time I took a peak at the pond a night and saw that the FRT was chasing some of the fish (koi and ID shark) and nipping at them. I guess that why I was seeing messed up fins. I quickly moved it into my 100G before it set it sights on the rays.
