to many bubbles?

[lereg15]

Is there such a thing as to much oxygen in a tank? My fish has bubbles stuck to him from my powerhead(penuin 1140). Btw, it's a 110 gal.
Good news, I picking up 4 yellow labs today, 1male, one female, and 2 juvies.

Bubbles do not equal excess of oxygen. They just mean you have bubbles!

I have never seen fish with bubbles on them due to a power head... do the bubbles go away after time? As long as they really are just bubbles, I wouldn't think you have any major problem or concern on your hands.

No. They are not always on him. Sometimes I see them stick to him for a second and then when he moves, they just pop. I just didn't know if you could over-oxygenate.

So far, the yellow labs are doing fine in the tank with my polystigma. He doesn't seem to care about them.

No, you cannot over-oxygenate... not with a power head at least.

If the bubbles do not stick for long, do not worry about them.

Don't take this the wrong way..... -

But, it's just one of the funniest things I've seen today.. Thank You.. :bowing:

I can always tell when my paradise fish has been playing in the powerhead because he'll be covered in bubbles. As for over-oxygenating, it's really not possible. Only a certain amount of gas can dissolve into solution, the rest just bubbles off.
