    Not a flounder, its FW, see the java moss.

    I am willing to bet its a catfish, one of the yellow's or flatheads.(depending where you live)

    I've seen fw flounders. And I can actually find plenty in the local brackish water ways.

    looks like a winged pleco to me. Wrong body for a flounder. They're rounder and flatter with a short tail.

    It is a
    Thalassophryne amazonica
    a fresh water toadfish. I had quite the time trying to find out about it. An other friend on an other forum gave me the name and when I searched it there it was. :)
    He is happily eating up guppies and ghost shrimp now. And you have to look real hard to find him under the sand.
