Bettas and filtration

[jazzx101]

Is having a current in the tank bad for the betta? I've heard mixed things about this.

my bettas weren't real thrilled about it, but didn't exactly hide away from it either. so i removed the ugf (basically and air stone shoved down a plastic tube, not real effective as a filter anyway). they don't need it, its not vital to their suvival or anything. if theyre in a larger tank, with other fish that do need it, it won't matter, there's room for them to avoid it if it bothers them.....

depends on how strong the current is.

All my bettas are in 10g tanks with whisper mini-filters set on low. The current is so light it doesnt even have an effect on the bubble nests.

I have the same filter, same setting on my 2.5 gal. tanks
