freshwater flounder okay?

what and how did you get your flounders to eat? they’ve only been here 2 days but they got no feelings to eat, they guys lay there and ignore the blood worms i throw down

For big flounder I would try target feeding with live earthworms.

In community tank flounder is weak to feeding, it often kills it.I bought a smaller species and it eats frozen bloodworms.

ill try bloodworms again, the two left are 3" and 5"

though is there any actualy reason why they're so hard to keep? is it just stress related or is it actually something wrong with parameters or temp? Im currently keeping them in my 250g with the tiger morays and they also are relatively hard to keep but they've been thriving

I would consider stress from other tankmates.
And such things are done that instead of freshwater flounder you get brackish flounder.

I see, is there anything I could do before separating them? my 10g probably cant keep them happy and I'm not so sure about keeping them in my QT

that would be disastrous if they were brackish
