I set up a smaller tank (20 Gallon) for a clownfish pair (Ocellaris), but noticed one was practically stuck against the filter this morning, and they seem to struggle swimming in the current. At the moment it is just a simple tetra whisper filter rated for 30-60 gallon tanks, but seems to be turning over the water like a champ.
I know they are awkward swimmers when compared to other SW species, but could the filter be pushing them around too much? Should I scale back my filtration?
