Thanks ....
But I can't just help thinking about how big the oscars MOUTH on the day I say it yawning.
Wouldn't the oscar at least try to swallow it?(because it has a very thin body)

Hit or miss. Just be cautious. If really worried. Just separate and eventually the gar will catch up.

Yes. That could be it. I did some research on that too.......

Thanks a lot anyway.
And do you think I could keep it with a 22cm
oscar?(the Gar is exactly 15 cm)

I find gars enjoy aquatic vegetation on the water surface when young, try handfeeding him live guppies to get him eating

Ok I'll try that. But I also tried hand feeding them small raw meat pieces but it wouldn't take them. So I left two small pieces in the tank .,hoping it would at least eat them through the night.

And do you think I could keep it with 2 ,,,4-5inch parrotfish?
And the Gar would like earthworms wouldn't it.? would it like live or dead ines both?
Could I feed it bloodworms too?(not live)
