I just have 1 She was stuck in the LFS tank with a red parrot & a GT and they were kicking her ass...I might try adding more, or at least a male.
Maybe gonna look into sajica, and maybe firemouths. Forgot all about rainbow cichlids too...I'm just worried if something is too small the gar will try to eat it.
i would try and get a nice group of uaru, if you dont want a pair get a couple of male or female sajicas(if not a pair say 3-4) and they you could go with 2fm and 2 rainbow cichlids or miss out or get a bigger cichlid maybe a jack dempsey!
A couple of my little cons look almost like HRP, and I like them...so might try those. I want to steer clear af anything too small that the gar will eat...or if I end up with an arowana (possibility), something that the aro can/will eat.
