Postby liquid » April 10th, 2005, 9:31 pm

In this month's Advanced Aquarist's Online Magazine, we have a mystery animal seeking identification. Can you guess what it is?

I suppose you want to know the species of flounder, or is flounder good enough?

Bothus mancus
Peacock or Flowery Flounder is my first choice.

Possibly Bothus Lunatus Which seems to be the Atlantic Cousin.

They look almost identical to me.

mmmm......blue spotted dinner
