Hi there. I think, have "problem" with my DPs.. They dont want to eat last days..Not so much as usually.. maybe cause of new filter, "stronger" water stream? They are hiding behind rear plants in tank. Do they mind that stream? I know they are not good "swimmers".. (I think). Parameters of water: NO3 - 0, PO4 - 0,25mg/l. Water changing: cca 30% of water every week..
Thank you for your advices..

It could well be the stronger flow, can you face the return towards a tank side to diffuse it? When you replaced the filter did you add your old filter media to the new filter?

Yep, I replaced cca 80% of filter media from "old" filter. Flow is "directed" more to surface then to "front" glass of aquarium.

Try aiming it direct to the closest side of the aquarium, it should decrease the flows force. See if they like that better

I am sorry, I forgot.. There are not lily pipes anymore.. In a tank, there is "original" ramp

The same amount will flow through your tank, if you end up with dead spots then move it a little until no dead spots and fish are happy
