Would 2 Needlenose gar do ok in a 55g? I'm getting a 55g soon and love the look of needlenose gar. If not would one do ok alone or with other tank mate species?

I don't know much about these fish but here: Freshwater Gar fish - Xenentodon cancila it says:

Quote:

Aquarium setup: Xenentodon cancila(Freshwater garfish) is a schooling fish and should be kept in groups of 3 or more, the minimum sized tank for a group of these fish would be 75 gallons (48x20x20 inches). When doing maintenance in the tank be wary of the fishes sharp teeth, they can give a painful bite and inflict nasty wounds.
