do GATF like very strong current? my wavemaker is pretty strong, 5000lph.

im tihnking of downsizing my wavemaker if its too strong.

They love current in the tank , but not too extreme if the fish is small.

blondmyth · 04-07-2011, 07:00 PM

its about 7 inches, big enough i suppose?

how do u tell if the current is too strong for it?

Easy to c if Yr Gatf kana blow away by wavemaker means too strong lor haha. If u use wavemaker they grow hungry faster , they consume more energy .

Try putting in Pellets every now and then. Even with the feeders, there might be a chance that the Payara and ATF will show interest.

You could stuff Pellets into a feeder ala Lumpia Shanghai and let that Payara/ATF eat it.
