The guppies are short of oxygen. You should attach the air hose to a filter which will remove Ammonia biologically if you wish to do any good at all with your air pump. The bubbles are just stirring up the water and not improving anything. My advice is do a water change ASAP to remove the ammonia that is poisoning your fish. Guppies are tropical and need a temperature of around 75F. The rules for successfull fish keeping are :- 1 inch of fish needs a minimum of 1 gallon of water. :- Every tank needs a permanently running cycled filter. :- Every tank needs at least 50% of its water changed every week. Keep the above rules and your fish stand a chance. Fail in any of them and I can guarantee that you will have constant health problems with your fish.
The BLADES ON THE IMPELLER GATHER BUBBLES AND POP. THE POP OF THE BUBBLES BREAK AND INDENT THE IMPELLER AND GUIDEVANE THAT HELPS THE WATER OR FLUID GO FROM THE MIDDLE OF THE IMPELLER TO THE LEADING EDGE OF THE IMPELLER. THE SOUND OF CAVITATION IS LIKE PUMPING GRAVEL THROUGH THE VOLUTE OR CASE. IF THE PUMP IS CAVITATING YOU CAN SLOWING CLOSE A BALL VALVE ON THE DISCHARGE SIDE OF THE PUMP ON A CENTRIFUGAL PUMP AND THE GRAVEL NOISE WILL GO AWAY AND YOU KNOW THE PUMP IS CAVITATING. CAVATION WILL DESTROY AN IMPELLER VERY FAST BY IMPLODING BUBBLES ON THE METAL OR PLASTIC UNTILL THE PUMP WILL NOT RUN.
If an air pump is simply being used to provide bubbles/circulation then you can put a G clamp on the airline and reduce the airflow if the fish seem to be having a hard time. Need more information to fully answer this question. A 10 gallon tank with an outside power filter sized correctly for the tank is not a problem even for baby guppies. If the concern is with the intake tube, place a mesh cloth or section of an old pair of hosiery around the end of the tube.
There might be air bubbles in the actual pump. You might have to remove it, shake it so the bubbles can get out of there, fill it slowly and reinstall it.
The machine used in fish tanks that makes bubbles is called an air pump or air stone. It add oxygen to the water and keeps the oils from coating the tank.
No. If you are getting air bubbles in the cooling system, you probaby have a bad head gasket or a cracked head.
Aerate the water: pump lots of small air bubbles into it.
Well beta or Siamese fighting fish have no gills so they surface breathe ..
The simplest way is by noticing bubbles where the jets go back into the pool area. Air gets trapped underneath water as bubbles, so if you see bubbles, you have a leak in that line from the filter or pump, leading back to the pool. If all your jets are creating bubbles, then there is an air leak in either your pump or filter.
Air bubbles remaining in the system
Electric fuel pump--Usually always when the ignition is on. Mechanical fuel pump--When the engine is turning.
Check for a low power steering fluid level. Leaky power steering pumps are common. When power steering fluid level gets low, air bubbles form in the fluid. As the bubbles pass through the pump, the pump smashes the bubbles which results in a vibration. The pump doesn't like the vibration, so it gets sad and moans like a whiny little biotsh.
