if your oscar and pacu ate your needle fish chances are they will do the same to a gar.
oscars can reach lengths up to 15" pacus around 3' and gar 3+ feet.
price ranges. usually around $20.00 give or take.

the redbelly pacus dont get that big. they get big but not like that. those are black pacus. and the needlefish was bigger than the oscar and pacu. they are both only like 5-6" long

good luck with the purchase. you are going to need a pretty big tank if you don't already have one.
