This piece is a quick definition of sole fish. Sole fish, or sole, is a flatfish that lives on the seafloor and looks like its head is sticking up from the sand. The left side of the sole fish’s body looks much like an elephant’s foot with a small mouth located in the bottom corner. There are hundreds of different types of soles and they live in shallow waters all over the world — including in oceans, lakes, ponds, rivers, and estuaries. Sole fish spawn at night, releasing millions of eggs into the water, which drift until they hit the seafloor and hatch. Then, the sole fish emerges from its egg case and moves to another part of the pond or bay to grow. Soles feed on small crustaceans and other aquatic invertebrates that are about 1 millimeter long. They have large mouths that can be up to 60 centimeters wide and eight teeth on each side. The sole fish lives in water that is around 10 degrees Celsius, and it stays in one place. The sole fish is completely blind and its smooth skin allows it to always remain near the bottom of ponds. Soles are a very interesting species of fish. They can live forever because they don’t have a sense of smell. They are blind, so they cannot see their tails. Soles may look like an elephant, but they are a type of fish. Sole fish generally live in shallow waters, such as streams and ponds. They can be found in freshwater all over the world, including in oceans, lakes, ponds, rivers, and estuaries. Sole fish spawn at night releasing millions of eggs in the water which drift until they hit the seafloor and hatch.
