Well, those are up to 14 inches.... This time of year, it will probably be 10-14 inches.... oh boy.
Chances are, also, that it will be a Florida Gar, not a Longnose, which doesn't get quite as big, but is even more likely to eat your fish.
You are just asking for trouble without doing your due diligence - but good luck anyway.
 
Worse comes to worse my buddy has a spare 125 that I could use temporary until I get a bigger tank. My plans are to build a 150 but it seems like it's gonna need it's own tank. I already knew prior to posting this post that they were an aggressive fish just wanted an opinion on it being in the tank concerning the Bala and pangious. I do appreciate the responses from everybody though. I'm hoping it come smaller than 10-14 as they are extremely to by me and the places that do get them once in a while end up being 2 ft plus alligators that people didn't do there homework on. I know the website has them labeled as Florida longnose but if even a spotted it's still not alligator big. I was aiming for a gar I could still handle in a tank and not have to build a big pond. Like I said thanks for the replies

Gars eat fish - that's all there is to it. They are not aggressive fish. Your current fish will be fish food.

Your tank is even less than ideal, because of the bowfront shape, so there really isn't much swimming room.

If you can - set up that 125 NOW, and just use that, and get bigger fish for tankmates. (Or keep it alone.)
 
I raised a florida from 2-17" and what ive learned is he wont ALWAYS eat something if its small enough to fit in his mouth but you really cant predict them. Had a small bellydragger and cory cats that were less that 3 inches and had no issues but if i put a 7 inch long local bass in there he would kill it in a day. Loved him but he really didnt seem to have a rhyme or reason to what he liked....
