    I just added a new maxi-jet 1200 to my 20g and for the last 24 hours all my fish seem to do is fight/ride the current and they wont eat....even when I turn off the powerhead. I read that you can never have to much current in your tank and its only rated at 295gph and they swim fine in it, but at times they try to find a spot with very little current. Could i have to much current?

    My fish play in my powerhead flow.. we even named a fish "flow" because she stays in it.
    Not sure if this is the cause of them not eating. How often do you feed?
