It seems as though my (brand new) fish are being sucked too close to the filter. They are right under it.
I have a new 2.5 gallon tank, which has been running a few days with treated water before I added the fish(3 small tetras). It seems as though they are hiding, because they stay there even after I turned the filter off. I'm afraid to turn it back on because I don't want them to die for some sucky reason (pun intended), but at the same time, I don't want the water to become nasty and they die for that reason. I've waited a few hours before adding food. I've done everything that the petsmart people have said and everything on the petsmart guide I had found on the net. I think they're scared and just need a little time because of the stress of moving from the pet store to home, but I wanted a second opinion.
Thanks.
