The Sand Flounder (Rhombosolea plebeia) is sometimes called a Dab, a New Zealand Flounder, a New Zealand Sand Flounder, a Tinplate Flounder, or a Patiki. It belongs to the family named Pleuronectidae. Typically reaching a max size of about 13.8 inches in length, the Sand Flounder is passive in nature and hardy in stamina. It's more active during the daytime and less at night, and will hang out or do best in the substrate. According to FishDB current data, captive breeding success is unreported and there are no external signs of sexual differences. Rhombosolea plebeia should not be housed in a tank less than 100 gallons in size. Tank parameters should be maintained with ph level between 8.1 - 8.4, temperature between 77 - 79 degrees fahrenheit, and a salinity between 1.020 - 1.023. Some of the environmental concerns that you should strive to replicate in your home aquaria to promote succesful acclimation include extra substrate area.
