sharpoo Posted May 25, 2020 Report Share Posted May 25, 2020 Umm, quick question is there any harm in giving shrimp fluctuating extra dissolved oxygen? I have a fairly small aquarium set up with a waterfall like pump/filter, I have also added an air pump which I plan to turn on and off every morning and night after an hour will this be a problem? as the general consensus is to keep everything fairly constant in shrimp tanks. (The shrimp I keep are yellow cherrys) Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OblongShrimp Posted May 25, 2020 Report Share Posted May 25, 2020 Why are you turning on and off an additional air pump? It sounds like your main filter is a HOB (hang on back), is that accurate? If so adding an additional source of air occasionally won't hurt your shrimp. sharpoo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharpoo Posted May 26, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2020 Ahh sweet thanks, your right it is a hanging filter/pump. I turn it off and on as the air pump is quite old and very loud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OblongShrimp Posted May 26, 2020 Report Share Posted May 26, 2020 ya you should be fine then. You probably don't need the air pump at all as long as you are creating surface agitation with the HOB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
