Stresso, Tank stress Options

[CHLeong]

Hi Bros,
Would like to share with everyone what I am doing and investigating. I have been trying to understand the differences in environment for goldfish raised in a pond and tank. Noise is one area I am looking at and I understand that noise/vibration multiply many times in water media.
I am no scientist so feel free to rebuke my discoveries. As we understand that generally fishes react to the environment via their lateral line. So I placed my ear against the wall of my tank, and realised that they are living in a very noisy envirnoment. Vibration from the internal water pump, air pump, the sponge filter are generating a lot of noise. Its like blasting a mini compo in a bed room(tank) as compare to placing in a park(pond).
Bros, put your ear to your tank wall, off all equipment and realise how peaceful. Then turn on everything, do you find any difference?
Attach are pictures which I have made to reduce the noise in their environment.


I am in a middle designing a less stress tub for my fishes, that I will also share with everyone.

Comments?

Hi Bros, I,m still making investigation and as HB said it will adjust itself to the envirnoment. So I do not think it will cause much alarm but definitely it a stressor. Through my experience of mistakes, adding too many fishes to a tank instantly will definitely cause an outbreak. Reason is the bios system is just not ready to handle the load.
The filter I like to use for goldfish is ohf, reason is its easy mantainence. Especially the latest ohf with three tiers with over head pump. As we know that babies goldfish cannot have to deep water depth or else it will affect its swim bladder development. Besides I also observed that most farms do not put junior ranchu in deep tanks. So a requirement for with lower water level is a better option for junior goldfish. Thats where the overhead pump cannot work, which comes the submersible, a terrible substitute.
As for air bubbles in a tank, do use a diffuser and hold the air line with a sucker. With it...its much sweeter.
