How Much Current Is Too Much ?

[Royster]

For 6 months now I've had my filter on its lowest setting as I read bettas come from areas of water that are very still and water movement is minimum , but today I turned is up about until the grass I have at the back has a slight movement in it.

Have I done wrong ?

When the fish is having to put all its effort in to swimming bettas dont like strong currents they enjoy weak currents

Also its to much when its dead dying or being sucked into the filter

Well, yeah, if the fish is struggling to swim, it's too much.

You can up the current but also have an area with no movements, or have a betta log for him to hide in.

swimming against the current sometimtes is good excersise but not too often, they enjoy calm waters
