Yes. The water flow should be less if she can't swim against it. They prefer sponge filters to HOB filters because the water doesn't move much, stressing them out. If stressed out, their color will fade so look to see if they are. Is the male chasing her?

i didnt know the filter was that strong. its and aquatech 10-20. ill do the betta thing just bc that's an easy fix. ill probably get a better filterr in the future (aquaclear) so i can control the flow. thanks for telling me that! im goinbg to see if i can get a couple more plants in there.
the male doesnt really chase her but he kind of nudges her telling her to get out of his way i guess.
ill try to make a spawning mop but ill have to get some yarn from my grandma whos going out of town for the weekend. is there something else i could add?
spawning mops are the best IMO as everywhere I see killi breeding setups(online, in person, etc.), they all have more than 2 spawning mops.
Super easy to make too. Get 1 cork, and then have 10-15 strings of yarn tied together and then tie that to the cork, and then float the cork on the water.

yea i know and fishboss for my killies its better for it to sink not float(breeder told me) the only reason i dont wanna do mops is bc its unatural.
Just out of curiosity, could a floating plant like rotala or something work as a more natural mop? If not, could you put a floating plant over the mop and still get the same affect? Either way, I'm following!
Since when is rotala a floating plant? At least not in the traditional sense. I doubt it would do well long term as a floater...would get pretty leggy too in order to suck up the nutrients it needs.
