Elassoma evergladei
Everglades Pygmy Sunfish, Everglades Darter
Elassoma evergladei are peaceful, making them suitable for community tanks with other small, non-aggressive species. They require densely planted aquariums to feel secure and mimic their natural habitat. Regular water changes and a diet of small live foods like brine shrimp and daphnia are ideal for their health. They display unique courting behaviors and are shy in nature.
