water flow for my gsp?

Post by Mr puffington »

Just wondering if my 2.5 inch gsp would like to have a power head for some water current. He's in a light brackish 30 gal tank. Just thought it might be fun for him. But could it be to much?

An air bar would be better.

Are talking about a bubbler? I just thought he might like some current to swim against.

from what i've seen, they don't really like the current. they don't seem to be a current friendly fish with the way their fins are and that they use them to propell around, a lot of moving water just seems to push them around more than anything.
