I got a beautiful new addition today, a red crowntail fighting fish with white throughout him and I decided to see how he'd go in my established tank. He's getting along nicely with my mollies and doesn't seem to be bumping into any other fish except for the dwarf guoramis. They haven't nipped each other, just chased each other away. I'll just watch them from now on.
Only issue is the filter. The poor guy has trouble getting anywhere when it's on. I tried adding more sponge and gravel but it hasn't helped enough. The only place he can be when the pump is on is the corner near the heater and a plant.
What should I do to solve this? I have to get a new filter for my other tank, what would you suggest? What kinds of filters have a low flow but still filter the water well enough for my other fish?Are there any other ways to slow down the flow of my filter? Or should i just give up and get him a smaller tank/put a divider in my 2ft (where my other betta lives all by himself(until I work out the filter.
I would like to keep him in this tank, as he is fine with the fish and so gorgeous!
