<< Hello!  I have seen a hillstream loach and also a freshwater flounder at my
 LFS, and they are definitely different fish.  I consulted Dr. Axelrod's
 Atlas, and I am pretty sure that the flounder I've seen is Achirus lineatus.

as i said, i suspect most of the FW flounders we see in shops are hogchokers, 
native SW flounders.  

i wonder why importers don't get the true tropical FW flounders (Achirus 
fromS. America and i believe there are SE Asian species too).  probably 
because there's no demand?
