i always thought the rocket gar was the hujeta gar?

That’s the problem with common names we all call them something different and yes in the UK a rocket gar is a Hujeta to us that fish is Boulengerella maculata also called in the uk Spotted Pike-Characin

Just sold mines recently, Nice fish but very skittish and don't get tamed. Only highlight was getting to eat hikari pellets.

i agree. they are a nice fish but i wouldnt buy another. in fact if anyone in pa wants one id almost give it to you. i would also suggest keeping them in a smaller tank because in a larger tank they can build up too much speed and hurt themselves. they are a very fast fish!
