I sure hope you have a huge tank.If it is a peacock flounder,they get upwards of 16" and will eat inverts and small fish. You can try silversides..but if you just got him he may take a few days to eat. I have found them to be a bit shy.

I'm pretty sure a Flounder does not belong in the 55g in your profile...

I agree with both of the above, when I looked into flounders I found out that need a gigantic tank and don't do well in captivity.

Do you live neer a bait and tackel store? If so flounders love mud minnows.

Yes They Will Eat Silver Sides. That Is What I Feed Mine. You Need A Lot Of Open Sand On The Boyyom For Them. But They Are A Cool Fish.
