Hidden Flatfish Discovered

The bottom-dwelling sand sole – dubbed Nemo – was only discovered when its 40,000-litre open native rockpool tank was routinely cleaned at the Blue Planet Aquarium in Cheshire.
But despite being quite a large fish, staff think the fish may have been a stowaway when the tank was delivered in 1996 as they had no records of the flatfish having arrived at the aquarium.
