Freshwater Flounder

Question
I was wondering if a freshwater flounder would get along in a 10 gallon with a pleco,2 cory cats, 2 glass cats,and 2 hatchetfish. Or a 20 gallon with 2 plecos,4 clown loaches,and a black ghost knifefish. Which tank do you think the flounder would do best in if we got one?

Answer
Sabrina,                                                     There really is no such thing as a fresh water flounder. They come into the estuaries to reproduce and they are brackish. They will live temporarily in fresh water , but need sea salt to survive. Unfortunately they are almost always eaten by their tank mates. Lets face it flounder is good...lol. Good Luck, Tina
