hi, i cant help but wonder weather or not the flow from my filter is giving off to stronger current for the smaller more delicate fish in my aquarium, after hours of watching it seems to me that if wanting a rest to keep still ther fighting a losing battle help, or am i just been to over protective of the little blighters. thanks, I have a majic jet 1000 filer and my aquarium is 48" x 15" x 12" B)

Don't mean to be rude since your new to fish but you shouldn't have put that many fish in their since its new. But don't tell me you set it up and as soon as you set it up you put fish in it, did you?

sorry i should have said, i was advised by my lfs to start off with 5 dannios then the following week it would be ok to have 4 tetras and 4 sissortails which i did, prior to this i had my tank running for several weeks with nothing in apart from ornaments etc, also the water is bottled and so far ive done 1 30% water change, thanks+
