Just keep an eye on them.
Since this is something new, they should have time to adjust to the
change of their surroundings.
Other fish, such as Bettas either love it or hate it.
I personally have had Bettas that have loved it. Actually played in the
bubbles by riding them up..getting blown over and then doing it again.
Over and over.
My Angelfish seem to avoid playing in it, but were thin enough to go
behind it and come out at the other end. At feeding time it didn't
matter. They would dive right through it for Bloodworms.
On the Betta message board I visit I have heard the same from many
Betta keepers as well.
Their fish either love it and play in it, or they avoid it. They didn't
need to remove it, as the fish simply avoided it.
Now if your current is too strong, you can either turn the setting down
(if applicable) or use a gang valve to release some air pressure.
A good thing to remember is that with any change to their enviornment,
fish need to get used to things too. Just like people do.
