Post Re: Fresh Water Flounders

I personally have never kept them,I suggest you treat them in the same way as any other amazonian fish,when they are fully grown feed well with bloodworm or a similar meaty food, then perform a large water change using water about 5c cooler than the normal temp,this should stimulate spawning,Good Luck and let me know if this works. 8)
