bubble wall?

[keeper-of-fish]

are these worth buying do they break/malfunction alot or are they worth it?

Mine has worked for months, and I'm using used ones that are working perfectly. They are good for aerating the water and for fiash to play and and they add a current to the tank, which is beneficial for fish like guppies.

It all depends on what you what and if your fish can handle the current (hard for fish like bettas). I say go for it, and you can get small bubble stones and ornament with built-in bubble stones as well.

yhea i think im gonna go pick one up thanks for the post!

No problem. If you want, you can get one pump and a three way valve and you can add multiple bars and stones for the desired effect that you want...

thats awsome i should get some of those and a bubble wall and hook em up think they would have em at my lfs?

 

[Eelzor]

They should I suppose, most lfs's have all these different types on bubble shapes. I used to have a bubble wall but the current was too great for the fish I had.

That happened to my fifty, so I just opened a few valves and turned down the pump. You could probably also find an oyster, sunken treasure, etc. w/ bubble stones intact. I find them gaudy, but that's just my personal preference.

By the way, please add you tank(s) size, fish, etc. under your signature so we know what type of fish you are so we can help you with your selection. It's under "My Controls," at the top right and at the bottom left under "change sig" or something of that sort...

 

[keeper-of-fish]

lol how ive been wondering how to do that?

 

[keeper-of-fish]

that too much for a 10 gallon?

This is off the topic, but I definitely don't mind.

Male guppies, platies, etc. should have females (at least two) b/c they get aggressive and sad without them. Tetras should be in groups of four (preferably six). Goldfish create an immense amount of waste, especially those above two inches. I say that you are vway overstocked.

You should definitely remove the goldfish, unless they have been doing well for at least a month or so. The bubble wall should help aerate the tank, so that adds a little security.

If you have the funds, buy a new tank. One for tetras, the other for platies and mollies. If you do this, you could add bottom feeders without overstocking.

You should post the question in "tropical chit chat." You'd get lots of help there.
