Their long and slender body is typically silver in color and is designed for quick bursts of speed when chasing their prey.

Additionally, Needle Nose Gar are known for their ability to survive in a wide range of habitats. As such, they are a very resilient species and an important part of the aquatic ecosystem. With the proper care, they can be kept in home aquariums, where they can reproduce and thrive.
