type striped pike characin in the search and see if those pics match your fish or if it is indeed a florida gar.

 

[jworth]

typically pike characins are BOULENGERELLA species, not actually gars

 

[beblondie]

look up
marbled gar-(Boulengerella maculata)still looking but its not a true gar more common name
maculata gar-Boulengerella maculata (Spotted Pike Characin, Peruvian Gar )

I think the striped pike-characin is B. lateristriga.
