Soleichthys is a genus of flatfishes belonging to the family Soleidae. These fishes are known for their unique ability to blend into sandy and muddy substrates due to their flat bodies and eye placement. They are not commonly kept in home aquariums, but can be interesting additions for advanced hobbyists with specialized tanks that mimic their natural benthic environments. They require fine sand substrates for burrowing and a diet of small invertebrates.
