Achirus florida

Achirus florida, or Hogchoker, is a unique species of flatfish notable for its ability to thrive in various salinity levels. Their flattened bodies allow them to adeptly navigate and camouflage within bottom substrates of rivers and estuaries. They feed on small invertebrates and plant matter, grazing across the bottom in search of sustenance. Due to this dietary preference, they should be maintained in environments that encourage natural microorganism growth for proper nutrition.
