Do you think I just make this stuff up ? :?

The point is that I have kept fish for about 40 years, and have read numerous books. During all that time it has been my understanding that bubbles pumped into water do not increase oxygen levels. It is always possible that all those authors were wrong, or there has been more recent information.

I did expect to get yelled at for posting what I feel was correct information.

However, very shortly after my last post the fish was doing circles on the bottom of the tank. He was not gasping, but merely quickly dying. It appears that I should take my own advice, and not purchase recently arrived fish. It is just so wretchedly hard to get a Royal Grama. Maybe next time I will take Doug with me, he was smart enough not to buy.

BTW, that tank has a Maxijet 400 blowing toward the surface, and a Hagen 301. Lots of surface agitation, and circulation. 8)
