How do fish tank filters provide oxygen to the aquatic environment?
Fish tank filters provide oxygen to the aquatic environment by creating surface agitation and water movement. This helps to oxygenate the water by allowing for gas exchange at the surface, where oxygen from the air can dissolve into the water for the fish to breathe.
Why is there a film on my betta fish tank?
The film on your betta fish tank is likely due to a buildup of oils, proteins, and other organic materials on the water's surface. This can be caused by overfeeding, lack of water circulation, or inadequate tank maintenance. Regular water changes and surface agitation can help prevent and remove the film.
Your fish is staying at the top of the tank?
Some fish are surface fish and others are not. Without you saying what kind of fish it is that is at the surface it is impossible to say if anything is wrong. BUT! if the fish are breaking the surface and gasping for air, then you have a major water problem and need to do some very large water changes immediately. Otherwise your fish will die.
Why does your fish tank produce a foam ath the sides of the fish tank on top of the water?
Foam on the surface of a fish tank can be caused by protein buildup from excess fish food, waste, or decaying plant matter. It may also be due to inadequate surface agitation, leading to poor oxygen exchange. Regular water changes and proper filtration can help alleviate this issue.
How do I know if my fish tank has enough oxygen for my fish?
You can tell if your fish tank has enough oxygen for your fish by observing their behavior. If they are swimming near the surface gasping for air, it may indicate low oxygen levels. Additionally, you can use a water test kit to measure oxygen levels in the tank.
How is FIsh will move to the place where they are fed when you tap on the tank helpful?
They associate the vibration in the water made from you tapping on the tank, to the vibration felt when the food hits the water's surface. Just a theory.

Repeat this process regularly to maintain a clean and healthy environment for your fish.
Why is it better for the aerator in a fish tank to use many small bubbles instead of fewer large bubbles?
The purpose of an aerator in a fish tank is to increase the surface are of the water next to the oxygen source to allow a more efficient transport of oxygen from the air to the water for the fish to be able to breath. A few large bubbles have less overall surface area than many small bubbles.
