Common name: Flatfish

Pleuronectiformes, commonly known as flatfish, are a unique order of fish characterized by their asymmetrical body shape, with both eyes typically located on one side of the head. This adaptation allows them to lie flat on the ocean floor, often camouflaged against predators and prey. Flatfish are benthic creatures, meaning they live on or near the seabed. In the aquarium, they require sandy substrates to mimic their natural habitat. They are fascinating to observe due to their unusual morphology and behavior.
