Maybe my eyes are playing tricks on me but I can't see any flatfish in the picture.
 
@Gondwana The one in the middle, between the grass, is flat on the bottom and mostly flat on top, a bit of a rise at the head/eyes
 
Yes, that's the one I'm talking about. A flounder would be as flat and wide as a pancake and the eyes would be right at the tip of the head.
 
I wonder what percentage of aquarium exhibits actually have signage that matches what's in the tanks. Of the places I've been I think Shedd did the best job.
 
@Gondwana Their coral reef tank, which has by far the most species, is 100% for everything I saw having a sign; I didn't see a few species there were signs for, an eel and two fishes. Asian River tank also all matched up. Looking through the signs again, there is one for northern puffer, but it doesn't look like this fish at all - which was the case for several of the coral reef fishes, as well.
