dude, whats your water parameters? do a 50 change and add salt, do ont medicate bcuz they are sinsitive
Your gar looks like it shed its slime coat. This is a sign of bad water quality or severe stress.
Your set-up is not appropriate for a gar, almost every type of fish on your list is a poor tankmate. The gar has no way to defend itself against cichlids. Down the road when it gets bigger there are going to be problems (broken back, etc).
