Arowanas with gars- the truth?

Thanks for the feedback guys. I was clearly misremembering lol.

This is very encouraging to me because Shark Aquarium just got some smaller trops in. I think I may try to pick one up. I love gars

The gator Gar gar was only about 14”. Tore up my aros fins pretty bad and ripped off the lower jaw of a trop the same size killing it. I had to give it away before it Did anymore damage.
My biggest Trop I’ve had since 2005 turned almost completely black years ago. Looks more like a real dark Cuban now

Goes to show everyone that personality and fish history matter. Thank you for sharing the experience, sir Johnny.

I don’t see any problem with that combo since most people in Asia they keep aro with gars. As long as the aro is not too small comparing to big gars like alligator gars.

Gars+Aro is not a bad mix. I've had asian, silver, and a leichardi mix with a multitude of gars. The only problem I had was when I mixed a gator. Maybe my tank was too small? Gators get nasty. Whenever mine lurked above the aro, it tried to lunge and bite its back. I had a similar experience with Cuban, but they're a gamble. Some are docile are lambs while others are meaner than an gator gar.

Florida and Tropicals are very nice mixers. I would def try it out!

Gator gars in big ponds or monster 1000+ tanks seem to be ok for some reason.
