Does this pump air as well? such as moving the flow of the water and create bubble (oxygen) for the fish?

This is not a air pump it just moves the water around i use this for mixing up saltwater

Yes. But the quality was very bad!! I used two, both broke within two months. I decided not to get a third one. Also, very noisy! Definitely not recommended!

Not set up the way it is pictured but it did come with extra parts and pieces to become what you want it to do I just needed to to create water movement

If you read my reply, I said that there is a little motor with it. Sorry - thought that was clear. Note: a motor is not the same as a pump; however, it does move the water around, as in agitate.

No air pump included. You probably don't really need one, though, since the included hang-on-back filter causes plenty of surface agitation to aerate the water.

No, you can attach a regulating valve to the hose going to the pump. I use this pump for my platy fry tank and it works perfectly. I attached a valve to regulate the flow of air and the fry arent afraid to go near the pump.

There's a switch on the pump that lets you switch it down from + all the way to -. That is still a bit too much flow for a betta fish, but you can baffle it by putting a Fluval Pre-Filter Sponge over the output nozzle. I have done this, and my betta is totally fine with it. He likes to sleep against the filter intake, and get in my water wisteria that are floating and ride them around like a lazy river raft, haha. They move reaaaaaaally slow now.

Yes. Your air pump will pump air into the bottom of the tube that came with the breeder box and forces the water up into the breeder box. You control how much water flows into the box by controlling the air valve control.

Yes, the air pump stays on as it does in all inflatable water parks. I've purchased 3 of these over the years for my grandchildren, and they have all loved it.

If the pump input and output isn't exposed to air then there couldn't be micro bubbles. I don't know your setup but it could be syphoning air at the input side.

Yes, you need an air pump connected to an air tube connected to this air stone. The air tube should be cut to a length that you would need to place the diffuser wherever you want it in your aquarium. It is heavy enough to stay where you place it. I use one on each side of my aquarium together with the filter and pump.

it works off the return line from the filter. It uses the force of the water (coming from the filter and pump through the return line) to create a vortex that sucks debris into its filter bag. There is no way that it could possibly suck air into your pump so there is no reason to be concerned about that. I have used it for 2 full pool seasons and it works great.

I have no idea but you would be looking more at liters per minute. that would determine the float rate of air. I can tell you I have three of these pumps and they have been good, dependable, quiet pumps. I even sealed on in a plastic box and it has been running all winter in my outdoor pond in freezing weather. they give very nice aeration with a good airstone. I just buy them based on their recommendation for aquarium size. Hope this helped.

No it is a aerator pump for a cooler or portable live well to cause water circulation and produce oxygen for the fish to stay alive.

Yes it is. Use a small air pump and you might want to turn the air outlet towards the back to reduce water turbulence since bettas like calmer waters. It's quite an efficient little filter.

This is an aerator. It pumps air, not water. If that is what you are looking for, the size is more than adequate for that. I am using mine on a 1750 gallon pond that is 24 inches deep at its deepest point and the size is perfect.

That's what I have done; because of my hood, I can't raise the lip of the filter very much above the level of the water. I would have liked to be able to; that way there would be some aeration. I do have a smaller model in my 5 gallon betta tank that I don't have supplemental air. Because of this, occasionally I notice a sheen on the surface of the water. If your fish can handle extra circulation, I say go ahead and do it. I've been using a Top Fin pump from a local business that is still going strong after a year

I use an air stone & air pump for my tank so yes, I would suggest an air pump & at the very least an air stone. They love riding the bubbles.

Yes, surface movement promotes gas exchange. You won't regret the purchase, it's a good pump.
