oxygen pump fish

Fish bring in oxygen from the water and expel carbon dioxide through their gills during respiration. That is too high for the fish in your Aquarium. Carbon dioxide levels that are too high can stress fish and also be toxic to them. However, enter the oxygen pump fish! They are able to absorb this additional carbon dioxide and convert it back into oxygen with a certain method they have, called photosynthesis. Kind of similar to plants!

Additionally, the oxygen generated by those fish are filtered back into water. This helps the other fish to more healthy respiratory breathing. In addition to that, this process also help in eliminating dangerous waste products accumulate that can produce free ammonia and nitrites in water. Those things can be very dangerous if possible to fish, and that is why oxygen pump fish are really useful.
