adding another gar?

[emptyhead]

I am currently housing a 12" florida gar alone in a 4' 120g tank. He is doing great. I may pick up another 12" florida gar and a 6" bichir. These should all get along together, right?

Thanks.

I don't know about bichirs, though I've heard they are good tankmates for gars. But the gars should get along fine -- I've got 3 and they were added one after another, and all do fine now together.

they will be okay

Sounds good to me, the more Gar the better

it's a great combination. gar always seem to bond with one another, rather than fight one another and the bichir will be fine with them. my two floridas are best buds and my senegal ignores all of his tankmates. he's a loner.

Yes they will do fine. I promise you, lol.

Okay - now it looks like I will pick up another gar also. So the stock for the 120g will be 3 alligator gars (12", 12", 14") and a 6" bichir.

3 Florida gars or 3 ALLIGATOR gars as your post says? 3 Floridas would work just fine...3 gators is an extremely unwise decision.--
