One thing many beginners don’t realize with their first betta fish is how much flow they can handle. When the filter whips them around the tank and they have to fight the current all the time, it’s very stressful and can cause them to get sick. And this can also apply to baby fry, fancy goldfish, and other slow swimmers. Learn from Irene on several methods for slowing the flow from your aquarium filter to make it gentle enough for your slow-moving animals.
