hi guppylover
i have a 8 inch common pleco
he does the same at night when i turn bubble stone off
to be honest i never noticed him doin it before i got air stone but nevermind
yes a air stone will help

i have to ask barty boy...why would you want to turn off the air diffuser at night??? do your fish stop breathing when the lights go out?
i have read here on a number of occasions where people turn off their aeration devices at night..the only things i ever turn off at night are the lights...

Definitely. The only thing that should not be constantly running is the lights.
