You'll have to be more specific as toadfish could be several fish. Define by genus and species if possible, or at least a picture.

I was looking at the orange toadfish on that pet place

I think I've seen and caught plenty of these fishing along the Carolina coast, according to the species name listed on thatpetplace.com. The ones I've seen aren't orange though, just a very drab grey. Maybe this is just a locality based morph of that fish? I always thought they were venomous but it looks like I was wrong. I know they do get big so would require alot of space with plenty of sandbed.....I'd say a BIG tank. They are predatory so I'm sure would eat any fish or shrimp that could fit in their big mouth.
