I have a question that I would like to clear up. Hope I can ask it here... since this topic has the experts

Do Pseudohemiodon need/like a strong current or not?

I think common believe says they do. People often refer to the flattened body in that discussion.

But if I understand racoll correctly, his Pseudohemiodon don't really need/like the current...

So what's what??

[Jools]

I would say they like current but not strong current. Mine are in a medium current and breeding well. However I think it is the DO the current provides rather than the current itself that is important.

The flatness says more about their love of hiding in sand than it does about the current they live in.

What do you mean exactly? The DO is the fact that they have to swim harder to get from A to B?

[Jools]

DO = dissolved oxygen.

Precisely! As they live in the sand, you don't want the current too strong, as the sand will be blown away.
