Family
Common name: Soles
Scientific name: Soleidae
The Soleidae family, commonly known as soles, are a group of flatfishes that are well-adapted to life on the sea floor. These fish are characterized by their flattened bodies and eyes that are typically on the right side. Soles are predominantly bottom dwellers and are known for their ability to camouflage with the substrate, making them interesting additions to a reef or fish-only aquarium. They feed on small invertebrates and are generally peaceful tank mates. However, their need for sandy substrates and ample hiding places should be considered when planning an aquarium setup.
