Hiya gatorgar, Welcome to MFK.
starting with a six inch alligator gar it would out grow a 150 bowfront in the first year, not only do they get huge but they need a larger turning radius than most fish, they don't need deep water so 2' depth is okay but a good sized adult will need a a pond around 16'x 20' to stay healthy, that is almost 4800g. It would make a great center piece to a fish room with a couple carp and channel cats.
