is it safe yet?

Hi All,

I have a quick question for you, is it safe to put a 9 inch Alligator Gar in the same tank as a 22 inch Black Aro? Right now the gar is in a 33 gallon and the Aro is in a 120 gallon. I just bought a new 240 gallon but it wont be set up for a while. The Gar when 8 inches swollowed a 6 inch TSN...I couldn't believe it.
Thanks,
Mike

P.S . Trying to make my photos smaller to fit on this site and am having problems.

i think it would be ok, just be close enough to do something incase they give each other that hungry look

I think I will give it a try tomorrow. That way I can closely monitor the situation all day long. Lets hope for the best. Thanks,
Mike

I had a 11" gar with aro's 3 years ago and had no trouble.

have the camera out, best of luck, but wouldn't want to miss a golden kodak moment! I'm still trying for a tankmate for my silver, he just kind of eats everyone.

Here's the only pics I could find of when I had the aligator gar with some aro's, a large clown knife, pike chiclids, and a few other things. Good luck with your addition you should have no trouble.

OK bro you dont have an allagator gar (thank god) but rather a much more tankworthy spotted gar. he will get maybe 2.5ft but not the 10 an allagator gar would get. nice fish bro get that 240 goin
