NO on the tank size and NO on the tankmates.
He could live for maybe 2 years (assuming he is a YOY gar) in a standard 125, but would need something larger in the long run.
Also...gar are not typically the "aggressive predator" that people portray them as. Most of them do very poorly with SA/CA cichlids and other aggressive tankmates. They are easily out competed for food and can easily become victims of aggression. As durable as they can be...they can also be quite fragile.
