Genus
Common name: Sand Diver
Scientific name: Aseraggodes
Aseraggodes is a genus of fish within the family Soleidae, commonly known as sand divers. These flatfish are well-adapted to life on the sandy bottoms of tropical and subtropical seas, where they blend in with their surroundings thanks to their cryptic coloration. They are small, typically not exceeding 20 cm in length, making them suitable for medium to large-sized aquariums. Hobbyists appreciate them for their unique appearance and behavior. They require a sandy substrate to mimic their natural habitat and may bury themselves for camouflage. Aseraggodes species are carnivorous, feeding on small invertebrates and are best kept with peaceful tank mates.
