I'm entering the planted / CO2 injection realm, and have been researching a little bit on that.

I've read about turning off the CO2 and enhancing aireation during the night to avoid a lack of oxigen for the fish. However, I chose for my planted tank mostly gouramies and corys. All of them gasp air at surface, even when the O2 levels are good. My question is if should I worry for oxigen depletion caused by CO2 for atmosphere breating fish?
 
No, Pat. I have cories and a betta in a heavily planted, co2-injected tank. None of the fish show any signs of stress. Just make sure you don't overdose the co2.
