Hi there, I have just bought an airstone for my 30 l aquarium. It is the kind of long ones which create a curtain of bubbles effect... I placed it under the gravel as it is supposed to be but the bubbles coming out from under the gravel are huge! My poor barbs are scared to swim through it as each of the bubbles is about the size of their whole head!! Should I pull it out from the gravel? Has it ever happened to anybody? Does it disturb the fish (my fish are all quite small: brabs and rams)?
 
The gravel is caursing multiple bubbles to form into one larger one. I would rest it on the surface to reduce bubble size :good: It may or may not effect the fish, depending on what the fish are, and how high the flow is. Though the barbs should be fine, I cannot comment on the suitability of the air curtain with the more flimsy rams. Best thing to do is adjust the flow down untill all the fish are acting normaly again :fun:
