HOW MABOUT NEEDLE FISH?

 

[Lizardking]

boulengerella cuvieri
ctenolucius hujeta

 

[channarox]

boulengerella or ctenolucius species,as well as those "needlefish".
but IMO,nothing can really compare to a true gar.

 

[TYLERDAYE]

a halfbeak or an asian needle nose gar a odoe pike

 

[Slippery K]

Just get the gar.

Hujeta! Also known as rocket gar or silver freshwater barracuda although it technically isn't either. Still has teeth and eats smaller fish tho!
