In my experience, Rummynose are more difficult to acclimate to a tank than other tetras. Especially if they're wild caught. If you do go the Rummynose route, make sure to drip acclimate.

If by "Silver Gar" you mean Ctenolucius hujeta, then a 50 gallon tank is not unreasonable. According to seriouslyfish.com, C. hujeta grows to about 8 inches and requires a tank 5 feet long.

Mine which fed primarily on two types of Hikari pellets, grew much slower than the rest of my Haps. My Nimbochromis sp. grew almost twice as large as the C. moori in the same amount of time.
