Flatfish

[fatboy8]

Does anyone know where I could buy a freshwater flatfish that most represents a summer flounder? Are any of the species aggressive and eat feeder fish and live shirmp? I have minimal knowledge on these fish and would love to learn more about them and own one. Any help would be greatly apperciated.

Ive looked at them on google befor and afew places came up that could ship to you. there also called freshwater sole or sole fish. There not expencive at all but Ive only seen them sell at an inch or two and Ive seen alot of pages say the max out at 6 inch wich kind sucks. but there still really sweet but I dont think they would do well with my rays but good luck!

I was browsing petco and i was really surprised when i saw them in a tank. Got one but it would not eat anything, i tryed crushed pellets, flakes, black worms, krill, and live but after 4 weeks it just died, i thought id give it a try for 3$$

I know this is an ancient thread, but I wanted to mention:
Those little flatfish are probably hogchokers. They need brackish water, a lot of live/frozen food, sand substrate to bury themselves in, and plenty of room to swim around in. They are native to the Hudson River, and just about any other brackish water between Texas and Newfoundland, so they can take a variety of temperatures and big salinity swings, but really don't belong in a tropical freshwater aquarium.

Guys, I have a question, so there's a rare counterpart of the flatfish which is the opposite side of the normal side, right? For example, the Indian halibut is normally right-eyed, the rare counterpart is the left-eyed. If I try to breed the left-eyed one with another left-eyed, are the offspring left-eyed too?

No idea if it is even genetic,but would be cool to try
