Neons And Water Turbulence

[Steerpike]

Hi,

Just had a few Neons die and am treating for white spot. Have raised the temp and have increased turbulence with my filter to increase oxygen. My question is whilst I have made efforts to diffuse the water, the current does still seem a little strong for them. It is only a 29l tank. What kind of conditions do they like best?

Especially when they're sick, I wouldn't have turbulent water. I guess it's hard to say exactly how much or if you have too much from a forum but you don't want them stressing out and losing strength and energy fighting water turbulence.

They prefer turbulence-free waters... Lots of cover ( plants ) make them feel secure, so maybe think about adding sheltered areas if you have not done already...
