Freshwater sole

The Freshwater Sole, often characterized by its flat body and sandy or mottled coloration mimicking the riverbeds and lake bottoms it inhabits, originates from fresh and brackish water environments in Africa and parts of Asia. This distinctive appearance, combining a near-circular shape with eyes positioned on the upper side of its body, allows it to blend seamlessly with its surroundings, evading predators. Despite its fascinating nature, the Freshwater Sole is not commonly recognized within the aquarium hobby, likely due to its specific care requirements and natural habitat needs, which can provide a challenge for enthusiasts to replicate.
