Is a gar compatable with a silver arowana?

Would a Spotted/Florida Gar be compatable with a silver arowana?
What about a longnose gar with a silver?

And just since im asking, my girlfriend´s 8" Hujetas and needlenose fish is in my tank for now, would they be compatable with a gar?

My friend was offering me a small longnose gar and thats why i ask, but i have also been considering adding a couple florida/spotted gars since the longnose will get too big for my 7x2x2 tank.

I've got several gar with my aro, never had a problem.

gar compatibility with arows is generally hit or miss, best if they are similar in size. as for gars with hujetas/needlenoses...the gars will eventually eat them with no problems--

ive kept all ecept the needlenose gars together before.
the hujetas ripped off my aros tail.
but maybe i just had extremely hungry and aggressive hujetas.
the gar and aro will eventually grow big enough to eat the hujetas.

ok thanks, i might give it a shot
i know the hujetas and needlenose will eventually be too small, im just keeping them temporarly

of course. as long as the gars are not too big or vice versa. but silvers are generally peaceful and will only attack smaller fish if starved.
