I had a book on keeping native fish, and I think I saw this fresh/brackish water flounder in it. I know they can suck themselves onto the glass of an aquarium.

Tinito, I know nothing about the fish you mention, but as J.H. mentioned, it seems similar to the North American Hogchoker. If you can't find anything specific, you could use hogchoker care as a starting point (low end brackish, sandy substrate, worms and other fish fry as diet).
While hogchokers will stalk food (a little), primarily they will eat what it right in front of them (or on them). In a community tank, some effort may be needed to ensure that other tank mates don't eat the food prior to the hogchoker, or in your case, the aseraggodes, eats it.
Again, I know nothing about the aseraggodes klunzingeri, but I have greatly enjoyed keeping 2 hog chokers for a year. I hope you enjoy your fish as much as I do.

Thank you so much for taking your time, on the fish shop the chap said to me it doesn’t need brackish water, I know they not always know about what they are selling, but I haven’t seen before that flatfish before, and I couldn’t find much info either
