Is it true that if you smoke in the same room as your fish tank, your fish can die? Someone told me this and I tried to look it up online to see if it was true and couldn't find anything...does anyone know?
 
me and wife smoke and have never had tank probs, do cough alot though:nilly:
 
lol...I never said I smoked...it was just a question, bc I have friends who smoke and they come over a lot..and smoke in my house.
 
If you don't have good surface agitation a film will cover the water surface and gas exchange will be impeded.

Problems worsen with forced aeration, as your injecting the smoke directly into the water.

Plus you lessen the available oxygen.

Contaminated air is Contaminated air, and fish (nor people) don't need it.
