Flounders are a strange fish. You might even call them a freak of nature. They are saltwater fish. But they can live in brackish water. They have been found in rivers near the coast. I am thinking about setting up a saltwater tank. I would have to slowly acclimate him to the full saltwater. They are not very popular fish for aquariums though because they stay hidden most of the time. He is hard to find when he is hidden in the sand. If you look around closely I might see his eyes poking up through the sand. I sometimes find him unhidden in the morning when I turn the lights on. I have also found one in the local store that specializes in saltwater fish. I studied about him after I purchased him. When he grows larger I'm going to have a problem though. Flounders are opportunistic hunters. Hiding in the sand. They lay waiting to attack their prey. So he will eat any smaller fish or crustaceans I put with him. I'm not sure how big he might get. I couldn't find that info. But the one I saw at the saltwater store was fairly large and looked like he still might grow more. Mine is about one and a half inches right now.
