I have an A. Occellatus(Tiger Oscar) and he moved into my larger 55 gal which was set up with a betta community in mind....and with bettas having labrynths, I never put in an airpump with air stone and figured it was good. But all of the sudden I was looking through videos and I saw one Astronatus Ocellatus tank with one set up.
I researched it a little bit and found that it is neccesary if there isnt enough water being agitated with the filter(Im using a tetra 30-60 whisper) hang on. I do not have any live plants either. Would it be neccesary or will the agitation from my filter be good enough?
He usually boesnt figit too much or sit around gasping unless I change his water and he sits around and does it, but I always thought that was from stress from having the vacc in the tank.
Any input is awesome!
