Freshwater flounder

[Catfish Keeper]

I kind of want to get one of these but was wondering if there was any species that could live in freshwater, not brackish.

This is the type I am looking at,
Achirus lineatus

Really, so if I put him in freshwater I would have nothing to worry about? Does anybody own these here?

I see these in fish stores all the time... they are usually kept with mid-water fish,.

Only get the ones from Peru. they get to 13" and are awesome!!

I've seen them around but every time want to get one I can never find them

Ive had a few of these in freshwater and they do fine, though i hear they dont live as long in fresh as they would in brackish.
