Need info on 'Barrel Gar'

[evercl92]

We have a couple 'barrel gars' at the LFS where I work. They have a long slender silver body (similar to a barracuda), with yellow markings on the tail. They are currently eating baby guppies.

I can't seem to find any info on google about these guys, but if anyone has any info on: max size, correct name (assuming that if I can't find it on google, it's the wrong name), scientific name, natural habitat, etc...

TIA

Is there any chance that you could

Look up Hepsetus odoe (African) and Ctenolucius hujeta (S. American).

I didn't recall the black dot near the caudal fin, but that doesn't mean it wasn't there. This pic sure looks like them:

The Hepsetus odoe seems to have too dark of a body color to match the fish at the store, so I'm thinking the Ctenolucius hujeta is what we have. Do you have a site with good info on these guys? Or do you know info yourself?
