Fish produce carbon dioxide as a waste product of their metabolism , you should rapidly get rid off carbon dioxide . There are 2 main ways to get rid off carbondioxide one is larger surface and the other is air stones . There is a kind of stone which you can find in every aqua hobby shop , and also there is a pumping device this pumps the air , when you connect this two devices together and put the airstone part in the aquarium they will produce enough oxygen for your fish and will make bubbles .
