Kaudern's Cardinal and high flow

[Saltfun2003]

I just received my fish order i got 2 Kaudern's Cardinal's in this order. Do these fish not do well in high flow? Soon as i added them one went right to the corner with the least flow and has not left. The other one was getting tossed around in the flow of my tunzes even getting flipped upside down. I have since moved one of them to my fuge were there is less flow. Other fish from the order are doing fine.

For me they have adjusted to the high flow. At first they would test out the high flow and then move to the low flow area to rest. Now they swim all over the tank but spend most of their time in low flow areas. If they get flipped and can't get to a calmer area then you may have to find them a better home or take your flow down a bit. If they are still small you could grow them out and move them back into the tank when they can handle the flow.

mine did exactly the same thing. i think that it is more to do with the fish being timide and afraid of you. after a few weeks mine is out and about in the highest flow area i have. he doesnt run as soon as i walk in anymore. try to sneak up without him seeing you and seee if hes out

you have to acclimate them and almost all fish from a store imo, in all areas, and flow is one of them. Doesn't sound the healthiest thing though if he is really struggling in it.
