This is a VERY newbish question (I know jack about gars) But I saw this gar in my LFS and was just wondering how long could it be housed in a 70g? Don't know which species. Thanks, This is just for future references.
 
If its small and your take is 4'by18" wide .. at least 6 months ... comfortable I don't know but to get to 18" awhile

should be good until it hit 15-16'', depend on what species of gar that tank will last from 6 month to a few years(considering the gar is now about 6'').
How big is the gar right now? Read this sticky http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?406951-Gar-Species-Profiles-(1-Viewing) and tell us which gar does it look like!

Well, Sorry I forgot to say. They told me that it was an alligator gar and judging by the pic of the alligator they're correct. :)
 
Alligators grow extremely fast if fed properly. So that 6 months could be more like 3, haha.
