I love having these guys with my Cichla. They go great together:

Thank you. They do get plenty of food. The Cichla do eat much more aggressively, but I still get plenty of food to the Floridas. If I fed small portions daily, the Cichla would hog all the food, but I feed bigger portions every other day or so, so the Cichla get their fill, and the Gars easily get food. The Cichla also don't eat much food off the substrate, and the Gars clean pellets and tilapia off the substrate. If all else were to fail, the Gars will eat from my hand, which the Cichla won't.
 
Cool,thanks for the info,could be useful in the future for me.
