I bought this flounder for my 150-gallon tank and it has been thriving. It’s active but not overly aggressive. I keep an eye on it around corals, and so far no issues. Great for beginners looking for a low-maintenance, semi-aggressive fish.

The flounder arrived healthy and stayed calm in my tank. I noticed it doesn’t eat much, but it’s not a problem. I’m happy with the size and behavior. Just make sure to monitor it near smaller invertebrates.

Easy to care for and fits well in my reef setup. It’s not a dominant fish, so it doesn’t stress the tank. I appreciate the beginner-friendly nature and the fact that it grows to a manageable size.
