I lust picked up an eight 8" rocket gar and need info. I bought him to go with the 8" BP. He was in a tank of 3" BP, 9" frostosas,12" plecos and a 4" green severium (They had a gold and a green 14" each and sold them as a set for $40). Need info. And is it really what is called a "fw barracuda"?

Does it, by any chance, look like this?
If so, you are the proud owner of a Ctenolucius hujeta, aka rocket gar aka freshwater barracuda aka pike characin. It's a tetra. Found in Central and northwesk South America.
Water: fresh
Diet: carnivore
pH: 6.4-7.4
Temp: 22-25 C (72-77 F)
Size is a bit iffy. Some sites say 9", some go as high at 28".
