Description:
Elassoma gilberti (Gulf Coast Pygmy Sunfish) collection point “Wacissa Spring”
Tiny, colorful, and full of personality — Elassoma gilberti is a true gem for any nano aquarium! Native to the slow-moving waters of the southeastern United States, these miniature sunfish dazzle with iridescent blue and black flashes that shimmer under the light, especially when the males display during courtship.
Despite their small size, they’re full of charm and curiosity. Males set up little territories and perform intricate dances to impress females — a captivating behavior few other fish can match. They thrive in planted aquariums with gentle filtration and plenty of hiding spots, where they’ll feel right at home exploring every nook and cranny.
Perfect for aquarists who appreciate unique, native species and natural setups, Elassoma gilberti adds a touch of wild beauty to any freshwater collection.
Highlights:
- Striking iridescent blue and black coloration
- Peaceful and fascinating behavior
- Ideal for heavily planted nano tanks
- Native North American species
Size: Up to 1 inch
Temperature: 68–75°F

Interesting and stunning little fish that all showed up healthy
Beautiful fish, healthy fish, fast shipping and i really love overnight fish shipping because i dont like to stress about how the fish are doing in the mail for days. I love hobby breeding and love supporting such efforts. Would recommend to anyone.
They came alive and well! This is my absolute dream fish and im so glad i found a reliable seller, just ordered 3 more rn im so happy :) they came with heat packs as well and was shipped overnight as they said it would be!
All the fish came today. The heat packs were still warm as was the water. After being floated swam happily away.
These are cool little fish and I’m excited to see them color up! Seller was timely and communicative. 100% would recommend and buy from them again.
