you really need the bigger species of bichir if you're keeping them with a gar-Anne

It'll work for now as long as their's no aggressors...in the long-term you'll have to separate due to adult sizes as beblondie states. 
they are considered just baby monsters at the moment as my delhezi, albino senegalus and gar are actually ard 5 inches, except for the siamese tiger which is only 3 inches...
currently im housing them in a 3ft tank...
reckon that i may need to upgrade the tank size in near future.
thanks for the replies! i will keep monitoring them and update u guys and gals!

So far so good, they are all happily living together! Thanks all, advises noted... Will upgrade to a 5 ft tank in times to come.
The tank will need to be in the area of 36'' front to back(wide) gars have a large
turning radius due to their scalation.Simply put gars are fairly stiff fish -Anne
