    on my 10 gallon i am running a small whisper power filter and powerhead by running both of these would it annoy my fish since they would be constantly being pushed by current and wouldnt they just want to find a part where there is no flow and just chill there

    or am i just being paranoid

    You want flow in all areas of the aquarium, no dead spots. Your fish will love it!!!

    lol, I worry about this too, I think coz Im putting myself in the fishes 'shoes'- see they dont even have shoes.- and I think, well I would be exhausted swimming against that ALLLLL day, hahaha.

    Nah, sure they are fine, they are used to the oceans currant. :)

    Hello, you are just being paranoid, a common malady in the hobby (ha,ha). Fish, like people, need exercise. In the ocean they get plenty, in our tanks, the more flow the better!
