    Default Java Fern's Water Flow?

    i've been reading online some people say java ferns prefer faster water flow and some say not so much. i want to get one for my 2g fluval spec tank but the flow is close to none because im not using the standard water pump but this one hiding in the back wall where the sponge usually is instead



    so will java fern die off from having very low water flow?
    i think the stock lights from the spec is good enough but any comments regarding that is welcome as well!

    pics of where the filter is located.



    ?!?!?!?!

    I have java fern in 2 of my tanks running sponge filters, there is hardly any flow from the sponge filters but the java fern still grows, as long as there is nutrients in the water the java will be fine.
