Need Help Identifying Please.

Hey,

I recently just acquired a Gar, It was labeled as a Alligator Gar but I just wanna be sure. Anyone have any clue? Any help would be great. Sorry for the crappy pics, Pics were taken with my phone.

Thanks.

I think that's the one they call a rocket gar or mosaic gar. Yes it's a characin.

boulengerella maculata.

Not a true gar, but a nice fish anyway, and probably a much better option than a gator gar for most hobyist.
