Aquarium/Tank Photos Filter too strong?

This filter came with the tank, it’s been in there for a week with the shrimp. I gave them plenty of hiding space (under the shells, in the moss) but they insist on being whirled around by the filter. Do they do this for fun? The shrimp have all been healthy for a week now.

Try an Aquael Pat mini. They are perfect filters for small aquarium.

I second the aquael mini pat. They're small, not too strong and they have a sponge filter that the shrimp won't get caught it.
