i kept 2 before, then they somehow disappear from my memory (They did not die) probably gave them away but forgot. Boring kind of fish... interesting looking but my they are like logs

Something like this Allenbatrachus grunnieus the Toad Fish ?

this fish needs brackish to marine salinity levels to survive in the long run.

Bro JuanStun,

if this is the fish the OP and other bros are referring to, you are very right. It's misleading to label a fairly difficult fish to keep even in bw as "FRESHWATER" Stonefish. Newbies will unnecessarily lose money, time and eventually their interest in fishkeeping. I'm sure these are not sold cheap.

Yea thats the one haha.
