Regular Member ashv20 Posted November 22, 2010 Regular Member Share Posted November 22, 2010 Lately I have noticed that the fish tank water on the right hand side of the tank; generally where the filter outtake is, is particularly 'bubbly' of course the bubble wand creates bubbles at the surface of the water but at the front of the tank there are these tiny tiny bubbles floating around... they wont rise to the surface or pop.. Do you guys get this with your water sometimes, I do a 50% water change each week and they don't go away. :/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Noreun Posted November 22, 2010 Regular Member Share Posted November 22, 2010 Is it like tiny bubbles stuck to the glass? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member ashv20 Posted November 22, 2010 Author Regular Member Share Posted November 22, 2010 no just tiny ones floating around the water, i did a water change this afternoon and there arn't as many now, I'm curious to see if they come back... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member CatfishSoup Posted November 22, 2010 Regular Member Share Posted November 22, 2010 if you did a water change.. then thats most likely why. i get every now and then during a water change. prob just oxygen i dunno but aside from that, in my tank it has always seemed normal so no issues to worry about to be honest. i usually get it on the betta cages, plants and glass after a nice big water change. if anything monitor your water if the bubbles seem odd to you.. in a dangerous way. but i higgghhhllyy doubt it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member number20121 Posted November 22, 2010 Regular Member Share Posted November 22, 2010 I have those in my tank constantly. The filter outlet pushes tiny bubbles down, and the bubble wall doesn't only create big, but a lot of really fine bubbles too. I was told on here that they are actually good because that way the water has lots of dissolved oxygen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Sakura Posted November 22, 2010 Regular Member Share Posted November 22, 2010 Yeah my tanks have areas that tend to have lots of tiny bubbles too. It's not a problem 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member bodoba Posted November 22, 2010 Regular Member Share Posted November 22, 2010 Now, any chemists out there that want to correct me on this feel free but I'm trying to toss this around in my mind. If the oxygen saturation is at maximum in the tank then the left over oxygen would float to the surface to evaporate in the form of bubbles. Of course these bubbles are microscopic and as they float along in the water with other gaseous forms that need to be realeased they make visible bubbles. Because of that, bubbles under the water would be considered a good level to judge O2-sats. Sound right anyone? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member sasha Posted November 23, 2010 Regular Member Share Posted November 23, 2010 i too have little bubbles. i thought it was weird but hubby reassured me it was the big bubbles from thee airstone just popping and gettting smaller. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member ashv20 Posted November 23, 2010 Author Regular Member Share Posted November 23, 2010 Excellent! Thanks guys! O2 sats wise; I do understand you, but more on a medical physiology plane of thinking... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I know why a while ago someone on here commented on one of my videos that my tank has awesome aeration. If I know one thing for sure then it is that my fish won't run out of oxygen anytime soon. So I really wouldn't worry about that, as it is good for your fish 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin koko Posted November 23, 2010 Admin Share Posted November 23, 2010 i only get that when I add Melafix to the tank 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
