Wats The Size Of Ur Fish..??
 
My little silvers love the current
 
i believe south american aros seems to come from calm waters often staying underneath flooded trees in search of food. but personally, my 2 silvers 21" and 23" are in a tank that's pretty wobbly because instead of making the powerhead face forward i made it face upward, so instead of making current it's more like a wave. they seem to cope with it pretty well and is been there for more than a year or so.
 
thanks guys.. i was wondering about the same peewee, cos they seem to come from calmer waters and write ups say they dont swim up river.. i always had foam filters in all my tanks but then with the algae growin and stuff i thought its a better idea to keep the water circulating.. they seem not to be too fussed bout it.. just like all other mfkers was wondering if i was doing the right thing.. more comments from more people are always welcome.. cheers. :)
 
Ive run powerheads in many aro tanks, all were indifferent to it except 2 silvers at 2 seperate occasions- they loved it, as far as I could tell, swimming up to it quick opening and closing their mouths at it, but not biting it, and swimming in the current for hours, turning to swim away only to not even make it across the tank before swimming furiously back to it- they really seemed to enjoy it
