I have a 29g tank which is currently housing a breeding pair of Angelfish (they just started a week ago). I have been wondering about this for a while, but finally got the proper motivation...
I keep my waterline a bit low (about 1 1/2" below trim), because I do not have an airpump to use on the tank, and I still want to provde the proper oxygenation. The filter I am usng is a Whisper 30-60 (rated for up to 60g). I noticed that after my Angelfish's first spawn, that some of the eggs were getting knocked off of the filter tube intake that they were layed on because of the extra current the filter's output makes when the water level is lowered.
I am basically wondering, can I raise my water level up? What is necessary oxygenation for a 29g (I keep the temp at around 82-84F)? I'd like to fill the tank up to the trim, but I don't think that would work...
Anyone?
