Do Severums like a lot of water flow?

[zachjohnson65]

I was wondering if Severums would do ok with a fair bit of water flow. I was thinking of adding 2 power heads to one side of the tank. I alreay have a AC110 and a ehiem ecco canister.

What size tank are we talking about? They should be fine. Just make sure there is a spot they can settled down in without being blown around.

Why do you want 2 powerheads in a 55?

The sevs won't care.

I wouldn't they are like the Uaru in the sense they like calm water with root systems

isnt a sev a little big for a 55 anyways

I've got two canisters on my 75 gal, and my sev seems to be just fine with it. One end of the tank is more calm, and he'll go there overnight (I can see him hiding in the floating water sprite in the mornings at that end of the tank), but the rest of the time he's all over the tank, in and out of the more powerful waterflow areas. Not that they are terribly powerful, but more so than just an HOB or whatever would be.

I have a FX5 on my 75, never seems to bother my severums.
