Florida gar compatibility

[FuriousFish]

I am attempting to rescue a 12" FL gar from A 30 gallon. Will it eat a 8 inch tinfoil barb or a 6 inch tinfoil barb or 2 5 inch bala sharks? ( iam most worried about my faveorite 8 inch tinfoil...)

Id think it could eat the smaller barb and the sharks. Plus gar are bad to keep with silvery fish. There will be reaction bites.

So it would go after the big tinfoil?

A 12in gar is pretty skinny. I dont think itll be a problem.

There is currently (at other guys house) a small ropefish and 4" blood parrot if that helps...

Gar are naturally aggressive towards silvery, shiny fish in a feeding way. I guess if you could get it through a few weeks it could be good but I don't know.

you will probably be ok but the bala sharks are at a risk. you will have future problems most likely once he gets big with the barbs because of there silver. But you could get lucky it really depends on the fish

There is a 26 inch Cliown knife in there to put him in his place though...

Gar are in no way aggressive fish when it comes to dominance. The silvery triggers their natural hunting instinct.
