Air stones with a Discus tanks are the bubbles bad for them?

[Rafael]

Was just wondering is it just micro bubbles that are bad for them, or all bubbles in general from air stones?:book:

Hi Rafael. Air stones are great. I have 2 long air stones in my 125. Micro bubbles are very tiny and can cover the gill plate when you use tap during water changes. At least that’s my understanding and why I age the water in my discus tank. With my angel tank I stuff my python with a piece of filter foam to catch any micro bubbles. Some experienced keepers here taught me this trick and do it with their discus too.

Air bubbles in the main tank is good.

Micro bubbles during water change in tap water is not good. They are actually expanding co2 and affect ph...
