Banded Pygmy Sunfish
Elassoma zonatum
Size: 2”
pH: 6.0-8.0
Tank size: 10G/1 small group
Country of origin: United States
Diet: Live and frozen foods
Temperament: Occasionally territorial
Temperature: 50-86° F
Description
It has been quite some time since the genus Elassoma has appeared on this thread, so I figured I’d revisit it. These fish are slightly larger than the two aforementioned species, so therefore require a slightly larger tank. As for the link, it does not take you directly to where you can order these fish. Go to their fish list for details on availability.

Brachirus pan is a somewhat rare sole that is capable of living in conditions from full freshwater to full saltwater. Like all flatfish, including the aforementioned three species from this thread, these fish require a fine sand substrate to burrow. Harder substrates such as gravel may damage their delicate skin.

this is quite wrong... thats a freshwater STARGAZER. don't know why called "toadfish"
You are wrong... The stargazers are a family, Uranoscopidae, of perciform fish that have eyes on top of their heads (hence the name). The family includes about 51 species (one extinct) in eight genera, all marine and found worldwide in shallow and deep saltwaters .This (thalasophryne)is freshwater species from South America.
