What Is This Fish Called ?? ( i46.tinypic.com/1e2b61.jpg )?

I went to the beach today, because in my country "( Singapore )" there was an oil spill coz two ship collided and i was there to check out the incident. I took pictures of the oil on the waters when i spotted this weird fish. Any idea what this is ? You can call me an 'idiot' for not knowing what this , im only 13 ;p

1. fish
2. It looks like some kind of Needlefish/Gar, it's a reasonably sized family so without proper view of it from the side it would be impossible to tell you EXACTLY what kind of Needlefish it is! You can see pictures of the family here: http://www.fishbase.us/identification/specieslist.cfm?famcode=207&areacode=
3. I'm afraid I dont know what that is, as I presume its rarely seen in a tank (which is what most of us give advice about, aquarium fish). It's a really cool looking fish, I hope there arent to much marine life effected by the spill. ADDED: I agree with TheRavr1
4. I agree with catx, it looks like some kind of Needlefish. It is very interesting looking though.
5. I am fairly sure it is a halfbeak, family Hemiramphidae. (they are very similar to needlefish) and native to singapore, and hang out at the surface of the water. http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2677/4042914998_bc7f759f5c.jpg http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2523/3817130373_2abdbf76f1.jpg
