Never, not unless it is dead. It needs it.
you should probably get an air pump but if it doesn't work for a while that means, they should just not have as much energy you can get oxygenation pills at most pet stores that deal with fish or/and fish stuff.
An electric air pump oxygenates the water in an aquarium, this allows the fish in the fish tank to breath. if there was no air pump the water would lose its oxygen and the fish would drown.
Maybe its because the air taken in from the air pump is toxic to fish. Try not to spray or use chemicals such as air fresheners, detergent etc near the pump. Hope this helps.
Yes, but if he is nesting, it needs to be turned very low so as to avoid damaging his bubble nest.
it cleans the tank and keep the fish heathy
Most of them pump air into the tank so that the fish can breathe better. You should get one if you have a bamboo shrimp, I know from expirience. The usefull thing an air pump can do is to drive a filter which is designed to remove the poisons that occur in every fish tank. Simply using it to blow bubbles is a waste.
It depends on how the pump was turned off. Was it unplugged? Was the air ride switch turned off? If your air springs are working properly, then all you have to do is make sure the switch is on and the compressor is plugged in. Start the car, close the door, and wait for the system to inflate.
If you are talking about an air mattress, there should be a pump device included in it. It should come with a manual. If you don't have a pump device, try purchasing from eBay or amazon for generic air pump devices.
When a filter and water pump have been sitting dormant for a while, air pockets can form in the system. When the pump is turned on, these air pockets can cause surging as the pump tries to push through the air. This issue should resolve on its own as the system runs and the air is removed. If the problem persists, there may be a blockage or malfunction in the system that needs to be addressed.
Tropical fish can survive without an air pump for a few hours to a day, depending on factors such as water quality, temperature, and fish species. It is important to reintroduce aeration as soon as possible to prevent stress and oxygen depletion in the tank.
No they breathe from the top of the water like a porpoise
yes.
