Fish For A Tank With A High Turnover

[Geoff1991]

Well, what fish would do well in a tank with 20-25x turnover?

Im thinking harlequin rasbora and sterbai corys, but i may change my mind, will they be ok with the flow?

any fish will be ok with the flow.

Sure? Ive read some fish will be stressed out with high currents?

is the 20-25x turnover theoretical or actual?

 

[Geoff1991]

Well, my tanks 60l and my filters 600lph and i have a 900lph powerhead, so i guess its theoretical, but i did read tetratec test there lph rating with the media in, so im unsure.

what did you get on the ttex600 then, well i have a 600lph and its putting out 270lph, and the 900lph powerhead will spread the flow out soo much it will ammount to nothing unless you are right by the powerhead, i rekon all in all the turnover in the tank will be about 500-600lph, so 10x, any fish will be fine

Thinking about it, the powerheads a hydor koralia so it will be pretty gentle anyway, thanks.

Have a look at some of the South American or Asian river species like most plecs, danios and rasboras. Things like angels and gouramis wont do well in that sort of current.
