Airstone & Co2

[Beemeeup]

is it good practice to use a co2 injection (small plastic canister) as well as an airstone?

i only got the airstone today as the temp is high in the tank 26.5 c - ( ive turned the heater off for the last two days)

i thought the fish would benifit from the airstone. most of my fish like temps on or below 26 c.

i did not know when i bought the fish that the water temp would be so high.

so do i need the airstone and will it affect the co2.

any advice would help

An airstone will affect the CO2 levels, the extra surface aggitation will release the CO2 in the water a lot quicker.
The airstone isnt needed really, the fish should be fine with a temp of 26.

Which fish are you keeping?

5 dwarf blue rainbow
6 platies
2 rosy barb
2 white cloud from old tank
1 zebra danio
2 gold dwarf gourami
2 yo yo loach

gold gourami seem to hide behind intake pipe - rarely seen out.
