what type of fish is flounder in the new little mermaid

Flounder is a tropical fish, most likely an angelfish, according to The Digital Fix. Flounders are actually a type of flatfish and are not related to the character Flounder in The Little Mermaid. The Little Mermaid animated TV series confirms that Flounder is a guppy fish, and his original name was "Guppy Number 35". However, the upcoming live-action films Flounder looks somewhat different from a guppy fish. Some have also agreed that this fictional sea creature has no defined species. The Ocean Conservancy suggested that Flounder may be some sort of angelfish or a colored reef fish.
