I have pygmy sunfish. They Stay hidden most of the time and are very hard to find. If you watch all the way to the end you will see the fish almost vanish as it nears the bottom. The spots are electric blue on a dark background. The fish seem to be able to turn them on at will. When he flares the blue areas are very bright. Very much like the blue on a neon tetra. They are tiny and like to hide in the plants and under rocks and leaves making them very difficult to catch. This adult fish is about 34/-inch long.
The Okefenokee pygmy sunfish, Elassoma Okefenokee, is a species of pygmy sunfish found in southeastern United States, where it prefers waters with dense vegetation growth in the Altamaha drainage in southern Georgia south to Lake Okeechobee, Florida, interior lake basins in north-central Florida, and upper Suwannee, Withlacoochee, and Hillsborough river drainages on the Gulf Coast of Florida. This species can reach 3.4 cm (1.3 in) in total length.
