Spotted pike characin...?

[blonde.for.life]

This might be in the wrong area but im gonna ask anyways..I just picked this guy up today and he was labeled 'columbian needle fish'. I looked into it before i bought it but I couldnt find anything on them but through searching around i think its a spotted pike. The pic isnt great but i has hoping someone could confirm or correct.

well it's definitely a Boulengerella, probably maculata for the spotted part. And if your housing it with that denison barb, it's gonna end up as food!

Ok thanks. I am aware of the risks but at the moment im not concerned w/ it eating any of my fish since its only slightly larger around than my pinky and my barbs are a good size.
