Vacuum Stick Filter?

Mattwillie · Jun 21, 2016

Hi,

I've done a bit of a scroll through here and can't find the answer to my question.

I've got 2 large fish tanks ready to house my axolotls once they're a bit bigger. One of the tanks has a wall filter, while the other has a vacuum stick filter.

Wondering if the vacuum stick filter is okay for my axolotls once they've reached juvenile or will it be a problem for their gills/skin? It's not an overly powerful filter at all, but just wanted to make sure before they go in there!

Thanks!

I'm not aware of vacuum stick filters. If you could post the make and model number, and possibly a picture of it, we should be able to answer your question.

I have a few different types of filters, and as long as the water movement isn't too strong then your axolotls should be fine. There are various methods to reduce the output flow from filters, from placing plants/decor near them, and pointing the outflow towards the tank glass, to covering the outflow with filter media to disperse the flow. :happy:
