So I've been growing out my african aro and he's about 6". I was wondering if he was big enough to go to my main tank with a 12" tropical gar, 12" florida gar, 4.5" Ngt, 6 ntt.
 
HELLLLLLL NOOOO

Dont put Gars with African Arowan man... Unless they are exactly the same size..

My 6" Gar killed my 4" African arowana.. he was trying to eat it.. but couldn't... ended up having a african died after 20 mintues...


I would wait until the african is 8" thats better for a 12" Gar.. and Gar growth rate aren't as fast as afrowana..

Just a heads up.. Gars are mean dudes....
 
gar will try to eat it
 
Ya.. def no.. i thought it was good.. but its not.. gars are a-holes... they might look cool.. but they are like alligators.. silent but deadly...

Ended up picking up another african... so dont make the mistake i did... :irked:

So will I ever be able to house an afro and ngt together? or will the ngt just always try to kill it?
Few months back I had 3x ngts about 4" and my african aro was 7" and they beat it almost to death. I would wait for the african aro to be at least 10"...
 
my NGT do fine with my africans the NGT are bigger too
