Hi. I have an Aqua one 800 canister filter that came with a spray bar (two tubes with holes along their length). We’ve just finished fishless cycle and now have two (very small for now) fantail goldfish. When added to the tank they seemed to hang out in one corner, farthest from the filter spray bar. I read a lot about fancy goldfish not being strong swimmers, and wondered if the current from the filter was too strong. Had the spray bar along back wall of tank, just below surface of water, angled slightly upwards so as to agitate the surface slightly.
I rotated the tubes so the holes were pointed directly at the back wall/glass, an attempt to minimise the water flow/current. Soon after I did this both fish began exploring more of the tank. Of course that could just be a coincidence.
My question is what’s the best way to position a canister filter’s spray bar with small/young fantail goldfish in the tank? Thanks
