oxygen in tank water (none / 0) (#5)

It's nice to hear that some have recovered already! Well, it is unclescott who told me about older guppies having a harder time adapting. =) (go unclescott!!)

I think they're better off in your community tank, because if you do transfer them again, they have to adapat again... and that's stressful.

About that bubble stream, you're right about the surface area contact on air that increases the oxygen in the water. I've read it on guppyinfo a week ago. They said that the stream of bubbles contributes only a few on oxygenating the tank water, that it's more on the surface contact and circulation of oxygenated water around the whole volume of the tank that's more important and helpful. Here's the link to that topic. http://guppyinfo.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=57&Itemid=23
