spotted gar

[peewee]

need help, i was wondering if it could be tankmates with silver dollars and angel fish?

 

[jworth]

silver dollars yes. angels.... i dont know. i say yes as long as tehy are big enough to not be food and dont act acgressively to the gar.

 

[xander]

no to both, many existing threads tell you why not

 

[peewee]

thats too bad... i would love to have a gar with them but it seems like they're not compatible.

not compatible; silver dollars are silvery fish...they will get beaten on by the gars...angels are similar and slower, they will get beaten, eaten, or just killed. unfortunately not good tankmates--

silver dollars yes. angels.... i dont know. i say yes as long as tehy are big enough to not be food and dont act acgressively to the gar.

sorry, i guess im dead wrong. i doubted the angels but i dont see a problem with my silver dollars. if something crazy is going to happen someone let me know. i wouldnt mind getting rid of them.

ive had spotted gars repeatedly try to eat silver dollars which were too big to eat.

the gars will likely shred the silver dollars
