I have like two alligator gars, both around 10-12", also got three florida gars around 15-16". I just purchased another alligator gar about 6" and a friend is giving me his jardini which is about 7" long. Will these two new fish go well? Will the other alligator gars eat my new one? The floridas really aren't aggressive, i'm mainly worried about the two alligator gars i currently have. What you guys think? :ROFL:
 
The Jardini gives me more concern. They are very aggressive, did you know that? They are known for killing anything in the tank. May not happen right away but in their own time. Very territorial. An alligator and florida gar can not defend themselves against a Jardini Arowana.
 
Well, I don't know about the gars themselves. I mean, I own two, but I'm not sure of problems that might occur when they are different sizes. I do know the Jardini, WILL be a problem eventually.
 
yeah, that jar is going to turn that tank upside down. if possible you should get him his own tank.
 
Rehouse the Jardini as he will waste the gars. My one is home alone as attacked everything in with him even a big Gibbiceps pleco
