Sorry for the misspelling of "breathe". I was rushing and wasn't thinking. 😩🙈🤓
Tazawa Tanks i would have done the same 😂great explanation mate 😆😆😆😆😆😆
Good discussion, I hadn't realized that fish don't use the O from the H2O molecule, but it makes sense - Thank you!
New subscriber and new hobbyist. Love the great info. Aquatic life is amazing!
Thank for sharing brother
Thanks for watching! Glad you liked it.
Great information, thank you for sharing. Will saving this for when my daughter asks me, you explain it much better than I do! 😊
LOL! Thanks Nisi!
Very nice! Great tips!
Hi Zenzo, I enjoyed the eye to eye classroom format. Very informative on how fish breathe and how oxygen is utilized in the aquarium. Thanks very much for sharing
Great info sir
Thanks David!
THE WHITEBOARD!! Great video Zenzo :) Explains it great.
Thanks Jimmy! I felt like such a need! Hahaha
Being new, I become smarter with each new video. Thanks!
That is great to hear. Thank you, and welcome to the wonderful hobby of fishkeeping!
Nice information zenzio please CAN u tell us how to make surface agitation by various filter system
Great explanation - thanks!
Great explanation on a good topic. Surface agitation is crucial to African Cichlids
Thanks! It is very crucial, especially with overstocked cichlid tanks.
Great video thank you im in the process of setting a 55gal cichlid tank you gave me something to really think about thank you
Thanks for watching and I am glad this helped.
Thanks zenzo have always knew that I need surface movements but didn't know why I have plenty 2 powerheads air stones sponge filter 2 big hob and my canister output pointing straight up
Nice video thanks for sharing
Thanks for the great info
I have glass lids on my tanks. I always leave a few gaps in the lids for the gas exchange to happen. Although if I leave too much of a gap I get too much evaporation.
Zenzo never say this information is Elementary. ..this is A+ information.
👍👍really,really well lesson ,,,,thank you very much
Great video, water agitation is so important. I'll show some FishFamLove and Sub # 1,242
Thank you!
Great video!! I feel like my fish can't breathe well without my hob filters and bubble stones ....all six of my tanks have them;)
Good morning. I appreciate This video, it speaks volumes my brother. I setup my first African cichlid tank. Fully cycled and now home to Lamprologus Gold Occellatus. What live plants would be good for me to use? I here Jungle Val for background. Do you have any others that you can name for mid aquarium? Also can you point me to a reputable source that house these plants. I want to keep my nitrates down. Thanks in advance man💯💯 💯
Go to www.aquariumcoop.com
That’s where I buy 90% of my plants. Many choices with your shell dwellers.
Also, warm water holds less oxygen than cold water for whatever reason?
Hi Jerome. Yes, you are correct. The saturation level of dissolved oxygen in water changes with temperature and salinity. The cooler the water, the higher the saturation level. Also, freshwater holds more dissolved oxygen than salt water, so the higher the salinity, the lower the saturation level. Cool, freshwater is best for O2 levels.
Thanks for the video! What I always wondered about surface agitation using an airstone is wouldn't the CO2 in the air add CO2 to the water with all the tiny air bubbles traveling thru the water? I would think that the pretty high amount of CO2 in the air these day's (notice you have to mow the lawn more often than 20 years ago? I do, that's the CO2 in the air) would add CO2 rather than take it out, unless you use a CO2 device that adds a LOT more than a few tiny air bubbles could add. But still, I wonder if anybody has ever tested that. Do you know?
Hi Esteban. The gas exchange would be an equal amount of nitrogen, oxygen and other gases. However, remember that the dissolved oxygen in the aquarium is being depleted by the fish breathing, so the gas exchange, even if other gases are introduced, will allow for a greater content of O2 dissolved into the water.
Thanks. Another question for you Zenzo I believe you live in or near SF right? I'm going to be visiting SF next year in the summer and would love to get stock up on Repashy in the US since it is so much cheaper there than it is here in The Netherlands. If I was downtown SF, what store would you advise me to visit to get some Repashy and have a look around?
+Esteban Hi Esteban. I haven't seen it stocked in any stores locally. I bought mine from Aquarium Co-op. If you have trouble getting your hands on some, let me know before you come to SF. I can always order some and get it to when you're here.
I'll remember that, thank you Zenzo!
So many half truths. What is a bubble but an air/gas interface like the water surface but in a spherical form. Air will diffuse through this by bubble interfaces just as it does at the surface. Gases will diffuse thru this interface until an equilibrium is reached. Agitation brings water that is not at equilibrium into contact with the air. Co2 users depend on bubbles to get that gas into the water. I worked in aquaculture for a long time. At first surface agitation was a way of increasing dissolved oxygen in our fish ponds during the summer when high water temps reduced DO. It worked but was not very effective. Now days air compressors and ceramic airstones and porous airlines have replaced agitation for the most part. Ceramic airstones are used because they produce the smallest bubbles.
So while surface agitation works for aquariums bubbles have their part.
please tell me , What is agitation , this process , the agitation of water .
When the surface of the water is disrupted. Think of waves or splashing as large amounts of surface agitation.
ok ! thank you .
