Info

This oval flounder shows two distinct black spots on the caudal fin, between the 3rd and 4th ray from the upper and lower rim respectively.
Males can be identified by the dark grey underside.

The flatfish inhabits sandy and muddy areas on the continental shelf and feeds on crustaceans, polychaetes and other benthic animals.

A study in Japan showed that males maintain territorial and preserved mating areas during the spawning season.
Some males even occupied the same territory until the next spawning season.

Aquaristic husbandry reports are not available.

As can be seen from the photos, the flounders can adapt very well to their environment.
