So I've been noticing my Managuense swimming into the current of the filter/ water I dump into the aquarium. I was wondering if anyone else's Jags do this, and if I should maybe get something to increase water current?

If I remember correctly, they don't naturally live in fast moving waters, so I'm curious as to why he's suddenly developed this habit.

I think he is just trying to catch a ride. It's gotta be boring being a fish confined in a tank. :D

No jags here but my friends' brother's jag does it too and I have a few fish that do that too, my severum does it ( I think he just does it because he follows me everywhere no matter what I'm doing to his tank), my stupid guppies do it everytime, my lady's angelfish do it too. One of my plecos swims into one of my filter's flow as well.

I don't think you have anything to worry about.

I remember when I started out my first fish was piranhas lol..I knew about pumps and filters but I never had the money to get them then ..I was 12 yrs. old..so I would put them in a tank with only aerators in the tank and followed what I saw in nature..so I would wait till the water evaporate and refill it with municipal water and sometimes trash can filled with rain water..but what I noticed when u keep fish in stratified water and pour freshwater in there ..I believe the fish swim into it because the water is fresher than what its in right now..
 
Actually most managuense are not in fast moving water. Some of the fish I have collected, the Honduran managuense I own, came from a body of water that looked almost swamp like. Of course you can find them in rivers, but most stick to the sides of banks, near tree roots waiting to ambush prey.
