It is an Eye Biter which I've had well over 5 years now, clearly the Alpha fish in that tank. Thanks for the compliments there's actually 3 Syno cats in there total

They do seem to prefer the power head pointing laterally across the tank. Anytime I enter the room at least one fish is swimming into the current. There are actually 4 separate filters on this tank but the primary filtration is from 3 Tetra HOB filters. Turnover is somewhere near 18-20x the tank volume an hour.

To be honest, the outflow from the 3 filters coming in the opposer direction creates a lot of surface disturbance but the flow is weak knits a few inches below. It's a bit deceiving.

I'm not seeing a problem that needs solved. Think of a fan in your living room blowing in one spot. If you ain't in front of it you don't get much air. Same with the powerhead. And it looks like a 55 gal tank to me.

I have a nice current fan on my tank but what I did was place it lower in the tank and aim the head of it up at the water surface so it's not a vertical currant but more horizontal and dies down faster than on top of tank. But hey if your fish like it, and are use to it, don't worry bout it. And nice dimediochromis! I have one just like him! But my red empress chases him a lot..
