get a gator gar and it will grow about the same rate and stay away from the pacu

No thanks on the gator gar.....I don't want something that could eat me.
 
i have a 14" tsn a 9" lima shovelnose and 4 florida gars about 16" long in a 180 for now. they have been together for about a year and have had no issues.

Thank you for adding your experience. Anyone else?

I have a tsn and florida gar currently together in a 180 waitn for me to finish my 415 diy. They do fine together.

What are the lengths of them?
 
I would worry about the tsn eventually trying to eat the gar. The tsn could also freak out the gar causing it to harm itself. Another possibility is the gar trying to eat the tsn which would likely result in both fish being dead. I keep a group of limas with some of my florida gars and haven't had any problems so far, but I would not trust a tsn.
 
I have kept my Florida gar with my tsn sense they were little. Now the gar is 16-17" and the tsn is about 24" and I have never had a problem. They are in my 1500.

Do you feed daily or bi-daily? What do you feed?
 
Feeding is pellets daily during the day with veggies every other day And Shrimp, and talipia every other night
