needle fish

Needle fish are not related to gar in any way...

A 55 would probably hold one for a long time, if not for life though.

i have hear that they get big really big like 4 foot and yes i am talking about needle fish

There are several species of needle fish...the typical "hobby variety" is (Xenentodon cancila).
 
typical hobby needlefish will probably reach about 12'' so a 55-75g would probably hold one for life. im not quite sure about my size estimation but its just what i have heard. and again needlefish are not true gars. they arent related in any way.
 
Buddy of mine had a needle fish
He claims it got as big as a 55
This was back in the 70s
