Freshwater Sole

[AJ1986]

Hi guys i don't know if this is the right place on the forum to post. I wanted to know has anyone kept freshwater sole fish? If so what are they like in a community tank with small fish like neons and galaxy rasboras?

All freshwater soles are nocturnal animals, and most of the time they will be hidden in the sand at the bottom of the tank with only their eyes and gills showing. They are not particularly predatory, although they can and will eat very small fish such as livebearer fry, and can be kept safely with any quiet species too big to be eaten. Gobies, glassfish halfbeaks, and pipefish would all make suitable companions for a freshwater sole. More active fish that stayed at the top of the aquarium, such as hatchetfish, rainbowfish, killifish, and certain livebearers, would also be work well. Placid bottom dwellers, like banjo catfish, that wouldn’t compete with them for food are another option. On the other hand, anything that lives on the bottom and insists on digging up the sand or chasing away anything else in the lower part of the aquarium, as is the case with many cichlids and catfish, wouldn’t work well. The link below says this is it helps.
