my uncle got a surprise from his restaurant when he received a baby flounder inside their crab shipment.

i didnt know until today, they are fw/bw fish.

has anyone kept in sw?

????? I EAT FLOUNDER OUT OF SW??????????

I suggest you call a specialest o solve this but i do not see how the can be FW, or BW, also FLOUNDERS get big, so be readdy for a 150- 190g tank.

Well according to petco they are "flounders" and get no more then 2". LIES!

this is fw/bw fish. they get around 8". 75 will be than 55 for this flounder. its better not to have any decor so it can burrow to the sand.

ohno123. i believe this is the same fish.

no, the flounder came with the crab inside the box.
