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.

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.

They do best in brackish, from what I understand.
