Zebrias fasciatus

Zebrias fasciatus, commonly known as the Zebra sole, is medium-sized sole. Their base colour ranges from beige to brown with many darker vertical bands with blacks rims. The stripes are usually darker in the fins and on their body are a few very light coloured spots/blotches. The caudal fin is very dark to black with a blue rim and small yellow spots. But their colours are very variable and dependent on the surrounding. They’re much darker if black sand is used for example.

These fish are only suitable for an experienced aquarist with a decent sized tank with enough open space and a sand substrate thick enough for the flounder to burry himself in. Be careful combining them with anything that can fit their mouth and also be aware they can become aggressive to other bottom dwelling fishes. When young, they can be fed a variety of meaty foods, but once they mature they need to eat mainly salt water fish to really thrive!
