Your wife hates things that look like snakes?

Sounds like a personal problem to me

That's the best reason to get a gar I have ever heard.

lmao
you could go with a bichir, such as a senegal, kinda snakelike, i have mine in with my oscar, no problems.
Problem I see with gars and oscars mixing, is gars are very skittish and get nervous, and if the oscar scares it, it could seriously damage itself running into the glass.

I had a Florida gar w/ two Os. No problems, did have to teach the gar to hand feed because the Os are faster and get all the food b4 the gar. Like said earlier, gars can be skitish. I had mine in a 6' long tank w/ a 4' strip light over it. I placed the light all the way on one side and it created a dimmer, less lite area that the gar loved.
