Watch Wade's River Monsters episode on the species. You will see him ducking and dodging large arapaima that hurl themselves through the air like missiles. When cornered or threatened, they are great jumpers. By the way, you have a great pond.

i will sell it n get some small gator gars n when the out grow the tank sell them too

do you think it will jump out of the pond?

You should just start with the gator gar.

Less likely to jump, more environmentally responsible, better chance of you being able to find it a home after it out grows your tank.

Buying big gars is not worth the money since juvenile alligator gars grow real fast
i had a florida gar, if i buy a gator gar nowhere to keep
because my 50g is with a jardini n 15g with discus.(i'm selling them after they outgrow the tank)

if i buy small gars n put them to the pond, it will be real hard to feed it because there alot of places to hide
