I have four or five of them I raised from larvae with their eyes still on
different sides of their heads and they have never seen salty water. They
seem to do equally well in fresh or salt water but they only breed in salt
water. BTW they are "soles" not flounder ;-) Mine are about 5 or 6 inches
long and 5 years old.
