There is a true FW flounder from the Amazon basin. It is rarely imported and tends to be quite expensive when it is imported (never makes it to a store, always direct sales) - the cheapest I've seen was about $80.00 each.
"FW" flounders sold in LFS, like "FW" crabs sold in the same store are brackish. As w/many BW fish they need increasing salinity as they grow, very fine sand substrates, and a worm-based diet. Interesting fish, but not often visible other than as eyes protruding from the sand. They should make >6" in a year, could probably beat that with larger tanks.
