Hi
I have three rocket gars and want to increase the number of tank mates. They are currently in with a severum and all seems well. What other fish do you think will work in the tank (100G). I was looking at a Channa bleheri but i dont want to introduce expensive fishfood.
I realise these aren't 'true' gars and if there is a better section of the forum for this question then please move it.
Thankyou
 
hey dude, they are actually tetras, ctenolucius hujetc. but how big are they, i have mine currently growing with a mating pair of kribs, and it seems to work well. well, except for the fact that the gars kick the snot out of each other for 10 min every time the lights go out.
 
remember, they dont grow that large, so u can really keep them with anything that is bigger than it, that wont eat it. there are some cool cats, even some knife fish will work. try to stick with bottom dwellers. the gars will stay up top.
 
I have mine in a 100 with a JD, Geophagus steindachneri, severum, senegal bichir, and lima shovelnose cat. ANything large enough to not be eaten, and passive enough to not attack the gar, will work.
