More specific information is needed. Do you know exactly what type of 'flounder' you are talking about? Is it freshwater or saltwater?
I am going to move this to the bottom dweller section for now.

My fresh water flounder loves fresh chopped worms and frozen bloodworm, i don't buy fresh live bloodworm anymore as i had problems because of it.

They'll eat most frozen foods, like shrimp, blood worms, etc.

are the FW flounders really freshwater, or do they need brackish?

I have two that are just shy of 3". They are as long as my index finger and love live blackworms. Mine have been living in pure freshwater for 1 year now. here is a pic shortly after I got them

Gravel is a bad substrate for them, they cant bury themselves and its hard to get food..

i agree if you notice they'll be on the glass alot...bc the gravel hurts their bellies. sand is the best but you could you a cheap substrate it will do just fine. My flounder i caught in a cast net years ago when I was 8yrs old i had him for 4yrs and he got up to 16".
they don't need brakish water if it's a true FW
