"Freshwater Flounder"

 Our supplier has been offering us "freshwater flounder" recently, they have imported in a huge amount of this flounder to distribute to some fish shop and dedicated aquarium keepers. Our team have bought some of the flounder and upon research, found that they live better in brackish water tank than full freshwater tank, but some keepers do have experience of successfully keeping flounder in full freshwater tank.

  We have plan to sell them in small amount,  if you are interested, contact us quickly to make a pre-order and we will try to order more from our supplier, it is a seasonal stock so we won't know when we can find them again.

 We are selling each flounder (around 3cm) for RM25 each, only pick up is available, visits "our product" tab for more information.
