well they came in today and now are swimming in the tank with the gar they seem a bit small the gar is about ten inch maybe 12 they look about five inch and when i first put them in the gar was following them but kinda seemed he was just checking out what was new in the tank has not bother them sense they seem to be swimming around just fine even right pass the gars scary mouth but he has not taken a snap all but i know for a fact the are larger then his mouth what do think ?
See what happens after lights out...the Gar might just be sizing up the dinner menu...
Hope all goes well for you...
When it comes to preds. I try to get them all at once and approx the size where they will all hit the 12" mark at the same time or as close as possible.

If somebody already has a territory, and others are introduced, that is a recipe for meat soup IMO, try rearranging the tank and make them all pick their own spot again...
 
so here a update arrow;s lived threw the night with no trouble also feeding time today they ate like pigs they have had two feeding sessions bloodworms they love today and i will feed one more time tonight gar has not bothered them in fact just threw in 40 rosey reds and he went straight for them i think i am in the clear there is only two silvers right now thinking still if i should pic up last silver or get a black
 
Good to hear, I was afraid that GAR was gonna put them on the dinner list...good luck Bro...:thumbsup:
I'd go for 1 more, you got the room right now and 2 Aros will eventually get to fighting and stressing ea other, with 3 or more it is less aggression...Not too sure why, but they seem to just all get along better...
