gar as a good tankmate?

[nitrofish1]

what kind of gar would make a good tankmate for a giant gourami and a few oscars in a standard size 180g tank?

6x2x2 ft.

Gars don't do well witiih oscars.

what about gar and just the GG?

i dont know much about gourami but my guess is dont try it.

 

[nitrofish1]

they can get up to 2 ft long, about as tall.

 

[channarox]

i'd say no.
GGs can be aggressive.

 

[nitrofish1]

ok.

 

[city_of_evil6661]

i'd say no.
GGs can be aggressive.

that is what i thought.

 

[nitrofish1]

ok, i may just stick to some oscars for tankmates. would you suggest letting the oscars get large before introducing a juvenile GG, or introduce them all at the same time? oscars would be about 5-6 inches if introduced at the same time.

FYI - I've had trouble keeping oscars with GG. Once with aggression from the GG and once with the aggression from an oscar.
