Brackish Water. Adult flounders spawn in the mouths of rivers (where rivers empty into the ocean). The extremely tiny fry migrate upstream. You usually find flounders on the market at the one to two-inch size – well beyond the fry stage. They start wanting more salt in their water as they grow larger. Give them at least two teaspoons per gallon. Increase the amount of salt as your flounders increase in size

What about a 40 gallon tank with an unusually large footprint?

also, what about those dragon gobie? (the purple ones)?

Thanks
