Fluval chi for shrimp

SsHhRrIiMmPp · 11-04-2012, 01:26 AM

Hello all

I'm new to this forum. I was going to buy a fluval chi 6.6 on amazon for 60$ (on sale) and I was wondering should I buy it for my shrimp because I heard the filter could suck up small fish like danios, small tetras, etc... Well I'm not sure if that's true and wondering if any of you guys have any experience of so.

You could put a sponge on the intake.

Yeah like he said, a sponge, mesh or maybe even pantyhose. Just something to cover it. Its always best to cover filters in shrimp tanks regardless just to be safe
