Can you keep Spotted Gars with Alligator Gars??

to answer your question, a 6x2x2 is not a big tank for an alligator gar. It is merely a growout tank. Eventually, the gator will likely kill the spotted gar. If you want to mix gar, I have had success keeping a tropical and a shortnose gar with my florida/spotted gar. A 6x2x2 is sufficient for a spotted for a long time, if not life. If you want more than one gar, more than one spotted gar can be house together just fine. Alligator gar will need a much, much bigger tank, if not a pond.
it might work for about a year max. but it's still a flip of the coin as to whether the gator would decide to kill the spotted on any given day. after which(a year) the gator should out grow your tank. however in your case, i wouldn't leave the life of a $100++ fish up to chance.
a gator gar can be kept with other gars.
it'll just decide to kill the spotted one day.
and that tank will not last a gator gar more than 10 mths.
