Stressed from Filter!

I tried the elite mini filter. Even on its lowest setting, the outflow is waaaaaay to strong for him. It keeps blowing him all over the place.

How about stuffing some sponge in the out flow, that might slow it down some. And just adding is this the same betta that is not feeling well? If it is, perhaps you could try letting him stay in his tank without any water movement until he is stronger.

You can move the filter next to a tank wall and then angle the outflow so it's pointing towards the wall to baffle it. Or stick a plant in front of it to baffle it. Or like was already mentioned, use some sponge over the outflow. I'm surprised tho cause I've used these filters with all my bettas and none of them have ever had an issue - even the baby betta I bought a few weeks ago has one in her tank with just a plant sitting in front of it. If your fish is sick maybe he's just too weak for any filter right now

I was able to baffle it with some cloth and bands. Baby fishys are so cute :D
