Angrlfish flow?

[Bbush]

Is it possible to have too much current for juvie angels? I am thinking about either taking my power head out or putting it on a timer. They seem to be struggling w/ it. Thoughts?

Personally, I do not own any angels. I would think that any fish could struggle with flow if it is strong enough. So yeah, maybe it is too much...

Yes remove the powerhead since they are struggling with the current. My 12 adults have no problem with current but when they are very small they just can't.

Ok, consider it gone. I was having trouble b/c my tank is so tall (2 ft.) but now I have some emperor bio wheels w/ longer intakes, so hopefully I should be good now w/ out the power head. Anyone want to buy it?

mine hang out outside of the water flow, but once in awhile they run in and "play" around in it...odd fish I have.
