Hi i bought a Gar today can someone ID it please

[BigDaddyMagnum]

i've also seen them labeled as "Half Beaks" either way nice fish, not true gar

 

[supirbemo]

it was Pike Characin (Ctenolucius hujeta)[Characidae]
Characidae family
sometimes called Slant-nosed gar,hujeta gar,
max size: 10" or about 25cm....as big as ur keyboard...


gar is Lepisosteidae family......
lepisosteus or atractosteus genus

but still it was a cool n predatory fish...
