Hello all,

I have had a Innovative Marine 20 g tank set up since mid November and I added two clowns this past Thursday. I have an Auqa Gadget Desktop Wavelink DC Powerhead that is listed to circulate 165-1500 GPH. In the past I have only kept fish that require low flow so maybe I am being a worry wart, but I can help but feel like my fish are being pushed around in a water cyclone. How do I tell the difference between happy swimming fish and struggling to survive?

They should be able to swim into the flow without being pushed back.
