I find gars really boring :D Soo I voted clown knife..I wish I could have a clown knife...Im only 11 >:l I guess my brown knife is better than none :D
 
Well, I'm surprised that your Jardini is tolerating any tank mates. It must still be relatively small. One day (usually starts around 8 to 10 inches) that Jardini will kill everyhing that is in that tank. I have had serveral, and have never seen a Jardini tolerate any tankmates once it matures. Just be careful. Also, if a Gar, just no to a gator gar, it too will make a meal out of everything and you will eventually need a small pond to contain it.

I learned the hard way, Jardini's are best kept alone.
Good luck!

voted for gar!
gars are like sticks in the water most of the time my clown knife was always on the move. :)
 
go with a knife, but get a royal not a clown, royals are SO beautiful. gars are boring, they barely even move around, where knives are incredible just to watch

Yes i know everything on how they tend to get mean streaks around that maturity, but that is why i am waiting to buy either until it gets to that 10 inch size...im so smart :P. jk, im not that self absorbed

clown knife, gars are better but you already have the ck so have some responsibility, also gar+ jardini= big no
i raised a ck before for two years and our family had to move(500mi), so i had to start over, but my parents luckily bought the same fish again...i thought i be best off starting over, since i had only been keeping fish for 6 months before that. And so i could re-do my catastrophy of a tank. And read my other post above this one. thanks.
 
Who knows i may even sell the jardini and get both. If it goes on a mean streak.
