Hi there,

So I added a couple of clown fish ( black ocellaris and davinci ocellaris ) to my newly cycled 55g and the fish seem to have a hard time swimming in some spots. I'm wondering if I have too much flow??? I'm running a Fluval FX6 and a jebao SW 15. I have another Jebao that I haven't turned on as the stank is still pretty new and only have the two fish.
 
Clowns are weird so I don't know if I'd let them make the decision. Plenty of people run SPS tanks with fish with very high flow.
 

HOW MUCH DOES A FISH’S FEEDING REQUIREMENTS AFFECT YOUR STOCKING DECISIONS?

  • A lot! - I avoid fish that require frequent or specialized feeding

  • Not at all. Feeding demands don’t limit my stocking choices

  • I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!
