Needle nose Gar?
Robert,





No offence to BettaChris, but you already picked your previous question, with his answer as best answer. If you did consider and read over my input, I already addressed what you can keep with them. It really depends on tank size. A 150 offers you some opportunities, but you will need that 400 gallon tank you mentioned as soon as possible if you try to go with the Gar Chris said.





If you feed your Arowana properly from the beginning, and keep him away from feeder fish, you can have most any bottom population you want. The fish you really want to avoid are fish that dart constantly to the top. In my 180, I have some smaller Gourami, and they seem to cooexist quite well with my Arowana. I also, from the time I have had them, keep my Arowana fed on crickets, krill and sometimes even frogs. I have not once lost a fish in this tank due to Arowana munching. And there still are a whole pile of cichlids that are well under 3 inches that would go down in one gulp. I have three Arowana in the 21-22 inch range, and my smallest is now about 12 inches long. They don't target my fish because I've kept them on a surface diet the whole way.





Other then a gar, help me out a little here. What are you interested in?
Reply:I kept a florida aligator gar pike and a clown knife with my large 18" silver arrowana. There shouldn't be a problem if the size of the needle nose gar is proportional to the arrowana.
Reply:Well the needle nose gar, more than likey will be eaten buy the arrowana, in my opinion. If i were you, i would put a tiger, red, or an albino Oscar in your tank. I Love Oscars. They can grow to be 12+ inches. Anywhere from 12 - 18".

Reply:these guys are too much into there HUGE tanks yes a gar would be compatible . Check out snakeheads they are really nice looking and long like the gars and arrowanas. i had a neighbor that had an arrowana a snapping turtle and a gar in a 55 gallon. this was all but they all lived a long life and were all quite large. it was awesome watching em take 5-6" goldfish in a blink of an eye. believe me when i say your arrowana is gonna get quite big like 2 ft i'd guess in a 150gal. oh and of course like joe said they have to be proportional in size or they are food, duh!!
Reply:all you can so is try, different fish have diffrent tempermants

Reply:needle nose gars are brackish fish


but if u want to have a gar fish try florida gar


or


spotted gar(short-nosed gar)


or rocket gar( they do best i nsmall schools)
Reply:I think you will be fine if you get a larger tank, the arrowana alone should be in a bigger tank than a 150 gallon. i have a 12" long nose gar and a 11" arrowanna in the same tank and they get along fine together and i have never seen an ounce of agression toward eachother.
