aeration and fish immunity
I find that is i do not on the air pump for my tank that still has a cannister filter running, my adult cichlid will have pimple like infections. With air pump on, those pimple infection sort of flatten and become red marks only.
Why is it so? |

aeration increased the dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration.
A high DO concentration helps to drive nitrification to remove ammonium and also other biological process to convert other pollutants into CO2. high DO, low NH4, low pollutants, better fish health.
