Do Goldfish Need An Airpump?

While it isn't required that goldfish have an air pump in their tank. It can help your tank life by providing valuable oxygen to the fish. This isn't specific to just goldfish, as all aquatic life can benefit from the presence of a air pump. If you notice your fish swimming with their lips on top of the water level most likely they are trying to get air. This is especially true for tanks that have canister or over flow filters where the water is pumped and filtered without making contact with air.


Goldfish tank 1 point 5 gall the water is 74 Fahrenheit what can you do to make it colder for your goldfish?

Actually, I think that temperature is about right for your goldfish. But if you seriously need to, you need to change the temperature of the air around the tank. I suggest keeping it in a cooler room?

Do mollies need a heater?

well, goldfish don't need a heater, so if they can live with a goldfish, then yes, they shouldn't need a heater. I'm gonna try to put a couple mollies (maybe like 2, or 3) in with a goldfish. they "would" be in a, um, I think it's a 1 gallon tank, that has an air bubble filter, thing, that goes in at the bottom of the tank, and it also has a hood, with a light.... You should try it, cause you never know what nature will bring you! Have fun! :):):)


Do goldfish need air pumps What other type of fish needs an air pump that can be in a 5 gallon tank?

A goldfish does not need an airpump, it needs 3 stage filtration and good water movement from something such as a box filter and/or power heads. A goldfish, however, is not suited for a 5 gallon tank. 10 gallons per goldfish is the recommended minimum, as they grow very large and require more oxygen than almost any other fish. I would recommend something smaller such as rosy minnows, guppies, or if you get a heater, small tropical fish like tetras. ALL fish however, need filtration, not just an air pump.

What is the difference between air compressor filters and air compressor air dryers?

Air compressor filters are on the intake side of the compressor motor to filter the air as it is brought in. Dryers are collection points that are drained daily as the compressor is hot when operating and moisture develops in the tank. Should drain the tank daily after use and the dryer should be installed in line before the gun.
