I'm an aquarium newbie - about 80% of what I know is learned in the last month, monthly from this forum. I inherited an 8g BioCube and my daughter loves Betta fish. So we have a very basic setup (I'll try to post a pic tomorrow) with some gravel, a java fern, and Metta the Betta (named by my daughter).
Here's my problem - if it is one - the pump in the BioCube puts out 106 GPH and the Betta really doesn't seem to like the flow. I've read that they prefer more stagnant water, but I need to keep the water flowing to keep it clean. What can I do? I saw somewhere a guide on reducing flow, but it turns out that's from a filter - totally different thing. Any tips or advice on either how to divert or reduce the flow so both the tank and fish can be happy would be appreciated!
Thanks
