Yep, it's a longnose.
Be careful the Long jaws gets damaged very easy.

Hello guys. Im a new guy here. can you help me ID this car?
She has 2 row teeth that looks like Alligator Gar, but her patern looks like Spotted or Florida Gar. I am from Borneo Island, so this is a rare & exotic fish here.

Most likely Florida gar!

Thank for replies, but how do you differentiate tropical with florida? I googled it, but there is no a sure way to tell either its florida or tropical or spotted.

Tropical have different snout in comparison to florida/spotted. Tropical's snout closer resemble gator gar. As for differentiation florida and spotted that is a lot more difficult. I'm no expert on that part but as far as I know. Most "spotted" gars in Asia are either cb florida gars or cb hybrid of spotted/florida. There are only a few true wild caught spotted gars that are imported from the US. So it's safe to assume your fish is florida gar and not spotted gar. Maybe someone else could chime in on this.

Here are some old pics of my florida gars. One of the photos has my old Tropical in it too.

Florida gar, notice the prominent facial stripe typical of most Florida gars, also keep in mind that goldfish are not healthy feeders
