my LFS that specializes in exotics had something labled as a toadfish but it didn't look anything like that, after looking it up, I think it was actually a stone fish, it was more boxy looking.
I've never seen anything that looked like that and was called toadfish at my LFS.

I've never even heard of them before till I saw that article and I jumped out of my seat. I want one bad now! =)
It looks more like a sand puffer. The one in the picture. I haven't read the article yet but that is not a toadfish. FW toadfish look like a saltwater stonefish. Actually the true fw toadfish requires at least brackish and thrives in saltwater. I will try and find sci name.
Tetractenos hamiltoni

that can't be it, the two don't even look alike other than they're puffers. The one I asked about had more of a rounded body, whereas the sand puffer had a flatter body for hiding in the sand.
