A water change is a good plan but what are the test readings?

The warmer the water the less Oxgyen can dissolve into it. So It's always worth having one.

Click to expand... you need surface movement. i prefer using the filter output to create this as air pumps tend to be noisy, though an air stone/pump will do the job.
