haha, i know ive seen pics of them in the wild ive never seen a gar over 24" and i may have been thinking of a spotted gar. in fact im sure of it now. just a reg shovelnose cat not a tiger.
its really hit and miss with chiclids... could get a pycho could get a mellow guy... my advise would be just try the chiclids u like together and see how it goes
