Peacock Flounder ---- NEED HELP FINDING THIS FISH

[tannersmith2000]

Hello guys and gals

It's been a while since I have been here but I need your help!

I am looking for a "Peacock Flounder" and NOT a "sand flounder" (typical flounder)

These fish are awesome and I am having a hard time finding one on the web. Does anyone know where I can find one? Do any of you all have one or have had one in the past?

Here are some links and pics of the specific fish I am on a quest for...

This is the best video of the fish below

Flounders are particularly hard to feed, and need a large tank with a lot of sand. not for a hobbyist.

This is very true however Peacock Flounders are great feeders and I have a 200g tank.
I have had one before and they ate very well. They are a very fun fish. Your typical sand flounder will strave to death.

okay, well, if you're prepared! you could probably ask your LFS to order one. I think i saw some on BlueZooAquatics.
