Aquarium Advice Apprentice
Greetings! I was given a 40 gallon tank which I have just recently cycled. I have two 20-40 filters that I am using. One is a Whisper and I cant remember the other one but its the other common brand sold at walmart. I had these from before and they still work great, so I thought better to have too much filtration than too little, right? I also have an airwand which makes a nice curtain of bubbles in the back. However, I just added two black mollies and I turned the airwand off temporarily because they seemed stressed at having to deal with the currents from the two filters along with the airwand. They were also having difficulty getting thru certain areas without quite a struggle and I didnt want to stress them further. I plan on turning it on again once they get used to the tank but here is my question. There are bubbles everywhere. Even teeny tiny little ones floating all around in the water even at the bottom. Is this too many bubbles for these fish? I am going to try to lessen the currents somewhat by using some of the methods I read about in this forum but I didnt find anything right offhand about the actual bubbles. I just want to make sure its not bothering them to have too many bubbles in their water. Hope this makes sense!
P.S. The neon tetras and the other tetras that I cycled the aquarium with did seem to have some trouble at first too but now they seem ok with it. I just am worried about too many bubbles.
