I have finally finished my brackish 60G river tank! My mudskippers will like it I think. I want to put some flounder in it also. I have never seen my mudskippers eat in the water so I am hoping they won't eat the flounder. Any thoughts on this? Would the moving water stream upset the flounder?

What kind of substrate do you have? The flounder must have sand.

Just FWIW, I have had 2 flounder in my 46 BF community tank for over 2 years. They were about 3/4" when I got them, and they are at least double that now, closer to 2" or more. I bought them on line and knew very little about them. My tank is not brackish, but freshwater, and has gravel, not sand in it, always has. They seem to be doing very well, just FYI. Good luck.

Wow... that's some cool looking fish. I can't wait to see one in your tank, Jacki.
