Hey Every1. I have a jardni arowana that is about 6 inches long and is wondering if I could put him with a needle nose gar. And Maybe discus in the same tank. Would that be good? I was thinking of some 2 inches disucs and maybe a 2 in gar. The filtration is good as I got 2 filters set up and a bio chemical filter out of plants.
Needle Nose gar and Jardni arowana

Don't do it. My friend has like a 4 inch Jardini, and he had a 3 inch needle nose. The Jardini and it fought to no end, which resulted in both the fish being in bad shape. He eventually ditched the gar. In my opinion, don't get ANY fish that will swim up to the Jardini's level. My friend's Jardini even fought with his datnoid.... which rarely swam up. So be selective... if anything I would get yourself a nice ray or a small RTC / TSN.
REMEMBER though, all fish have different temperaments so your jardini could be a bit less aggressive (although they are one of the more aggressive arowanas). Gamble if you got nothing to lose but remember the warnings!
Jard is too agressive, hurt 5 of my datnoid so bad so bad. i have to move it out to a diff tank. definatly will rip out your Discus.
Really. I know they are all different temperatures but I am raising it right in the middle to about 78-84 degrees. Also i am more worried about the gar and the arowana instead of the discus as i have a seperate tank for them. And if i shouldn't wat if i put them with others. How bout a gar with a pacu, siclids, and 2 tinfoil barbs. All is over a foot long. I know they are carnivores and will eat the gar but i was able to train them and they r pussies. They leave goldfish, guppies, and other feeder stuff alone. I put tons of stuff including gourmi. However it is not that good of filtration.
if you are talking about the false gar needle nose then it is no because that fish only get about 4-5 inches(if I'm not wrong)! If you are talking about the longnose gar (that sometime miscalled needlenose gar), then maybe it can work with a huge tank or pond!
What kind of gar do you have? Longnose gar rarely go by the name needle nose.
Whether or not it's a false gar or true gar you shouldn't be keeping it with those future tankmates, it won't work out 99% of the time.
And jardini is a no-no with almost everything.

I think Jar may live with gar that bigger than them, but need big pond! TLKmDN have a Jardini living in the smae pond with his 2 40'' + gator gar and lots of other fishes like Silver aro, green aro, oscar, koi, pacu, cats, ... and they get along very good !Madding;4951504; said:

how many jars have you had? how many of them were in a community?
of my 8 jars one was able to be with some payara for a while, but in the end the jar killed them. all the other jars got to mean for anything i had. including everything in this list above. the only things i have not had are a green aro and gators. i have tried the false gar with a jar myself with the false gar being killed. i think you are mixed up on the whole gar thing.
