Default flowing water

I've read how waterlilies dislike flowing water. Can I install a small
water fountain in a tub with a Chromatella? another one with a James
Brydon. Or does it have to be absolutely still? thanks

The more the top of the water is disturbed, the more the pads try to
float away. I have a yellow lily in a 200 gallon tank with a 1050gph
flow and a red in a 275 gallon tank with a 1050gph flow, they are
pushed somewhat by the flow, but grow well.
