in front of my cichla tank,IL
right now im setting up my 210 and i got fish that im growing out in a 30gal that are gonna be in that tank which is 5 orino pbass around 3-4inch, 1 silver aro 6-7inch, 1 tsn 4-5inch, would a spotted gar be ok with them in the 210?
cuz this one lfs has one wich i think is about 8-10inch not sure but they had him for a while and they got a little silver aro with him and i want him but not sure if he would be ok in my tank
 
the gar would eat the pbass and the tsn for sure
and pick on the arro mabey
i would get one at about 3-4 inches
i have a shortnose gar in with my pbass and lmb now
and theyre about the same size with no problems
but gar can eat big fish
 
tank size is fine, those tankmates are generally not advisable. too boisterous. it's unlikely your gar will be able to relax or get enough food with those fishes around.
