Betta keeps going behind filter?....

[xXbettagirl121Xx]

i just switched from a half gallon to a 2 1/2 gal. with a fliter and my betta keeps trying to go behind it, im afraid that he'll get stuck. any advice? is this normal? oh and do bettas even like filters?

I doubt he'll get stuck.
My ghost shrimp, if they get too close, can even manage to swim away ;)

Also, my betta has gotten close, and whenever he feels like he's getting pulled he'll swim away.

If you're worried though, perhaps switch to a sponge filter.

And you can't really say they like or dislike filters but It keeps the living areas healthy and clean.
