What filter pads did you install in your FX5? I had problems with mine clogging the blue and white filter pads. I would keep an eye on it for a few days.

I'm not soprised that they're enjoying the flow.

I recently added a Seio M1500 powerhead to my already filter-rich Clown tank.
It shifts 1500GPH in a wide-spread outlet that the fish just love. They have sessions of hanging in the current mid-tank and swimming against it. Marvelous to watch big Clowns, small kubotai and histrionica all swimming together, but actually staying in one position.

Generally, the fish have become far more outgoing and lively.

Botiine loaches love current!
