thread_title: Picture

message: First the article goes:
Flounder (rarely: flukes)
suggesting these are synonyms, but then the article states:
While flounders have both eyes situated on one side of the head, flukes are not born this way.
positing an ontological distinction. This is confusing, please do something about it. Shinobu (talk) 08:25, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Flounder vs. Fluke 

message: Fluke is a colloquialism for flounder.   Flounder (fluke) go through the first stages of their lives like most fish: with their eyes on opposite sides of their head and free swimming.  When they are reaching maturity, one of the eyes migrates to the other side and they begin to lay on the bottom of the water.  If you feel a flounder's (fluke's) skull on their white "bottom" side, you can feel the eye socket covered in skin as it does not migrate with the eye.
Where I am from (New Jersey), both summer flounder and winter flounder are present depending on the season. However, "Fluke" is a nickname used to refer *only* to summer flounder. Tom (talk) 03:11, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  new jersey and 18 inches - how old is an 18 inch flounder - thanks tom - email - tomasics@hotmail.com with answer 

message: The second half of this article describes the declining population of a fish we know very little about.  Sadly I know very little about fish in general, yet I am sure there is more information that could be included in this article.  It seems odd to me that all 4 references on this page deal only with declinging fish population.  Is there no reference material on the fish itself.  Perhaps we should merge the left and right flounder pages into this one to give this article more substance.  Mantion (talk) 19:45, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

message: It mentions that flounders blend in with their backgrounds...is this something they do actively like a chameleon or is it just that they tend to be similar colored to the area that that species is found in?— Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.33.240.95 (talk • contribs)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Without checking the articles for the individual species of flounder, the only mention of their ability to change color is basically a footnote giving this article's Categories: Animals that can change color. The picture of A flounder blending into its environment does not specify whether color changing is involved or if this fish would have the same colors and pattern against any other background. CAN flounder change color? or maybe only some species of flounder?
Thanks!
