and also ive had a few gars b4 and even in small tanks never had one eat a cichlid on me. if the tank is decent size it shouldn't be a prob. and that losi will grow pretty fast gars only eat fish that can definitely fit in their mouth the worst he might do is if hes STARVING is take a nip out of the losi but cichlids are smart enough to stay outta trouble.thats just the way I see it
