Charlie Roche - 2012-02-12 Scroll up in this Animal World article and look at feeding. The Tonguefish is not a 'look for and eat kinda guy'. He is, 'It better be right on my head or in front of my mouth' eating kinda guy. So try putting the food - right in froont of his mounth or right on his nose. Scrool up in the article for feeding behaviors and suggestions. Good luck.
The False Freshwater Sole tail is fused with the rest of the fins giving it the tongue-like shape!
So most story's are that they're aggressive? I WANT ONE!

How much do they go for?
They can be aggresive and will also eat small fish.
There are extremely aggressive.
