gar housing tank mate opinioins?

[onetouch2many]

okay, so heres the story and the specs. as short as possible.

12" florida gar housed with my 12" silver aro in my grow out tank.
gar keeps attacking my aro, so I decided enough is enough.
since I dont feel like losing my arowana, I thought I would move the gar to my larger tank.

So, now the 12" florida gar is in my large tank with;
18" clown knife
16" florida gar
16" tiger shovel nose
12" ornate p.
10" ornate p.

just wanted to hear peoples opinions on this? should I expect any obvious aggression from current tank mates towards the new gar?

Im going to spend the next few hours doing homework and watching for any issues..

just thought I'd post up in here and see what people think.

thanks

I think it would be fine as long as the knife fish is ok with the gar just cause they are so shy and nervous

yeah the clown honestly keeps to himself. he just hides under his log haha

update:

little gar is still exploring, seems pretty happy.
both gar are spending a lot of time "cuddling"

good luck on the gar see u tommorow its late here gtg to bed.

other fish should be fine, the TSN can be a problem if the gar can fit in his mouth!

the tsn will eat whatever is sleeping when the lights are off

Depends on the size of the tank,if its too small, then it wouldnt be great because of overvrowding

 

[onetouch2many]

its morning and the small gar appears untouched. he and the TSN are pretty close in size.. I don't think itll be a problem.

so over a week has passed and everyone is still living together happily. no issues.

Probably isn't going to work out long-term with the arowana and the TSN; otherwise you should be fine.
