he has a black stripe down his eyes and is about 4 inches. If it is in fact a florida how big will he get.

i would guess florida also. if so they max out at 2-2.5' captive. could get larger but unlikely.

i think you should be ok for a while. they grow around an inch a month. so you can have a rough estimate. they do require a wider tank than many fish their size due to them not being as flexible and their long snout.
