Is a flounder bottom feeding fish?

* Their feeding method: Flounders lie flat on the ocean floor and use their mouths to suck up prey from the sand or mud. They don't actively chase after food like some other fish.

* Their diet: They primarily feed on invertebrates like worms, crustaceans, and mollusks that live in the seabed.

While they might occasionally snatch a small fish or shrimp that swims close to the bottom, their main source of food is found on the seafloor. This makes them classic examples of bottom feeders.
