    Alamak~ I dose about 3 bubble per sec for my 110 litre tank. The tank is full of tonina. And I saw my bamboo shrimp fighting for air. Then my clown loach came out of hiding, panting at one corner of tank. When i poke it with tweezer, it refused to move. Just breathing desperately
    then out of nowhere came one otto, gasping for air then sink to bottom. making some quick darts and struggling.

    I off the Co2 and the fishes are still not ok. Bee shrimps and malayan shrimp came out of hiding but they appear to be fine.

    Anyone experience this before?

    if thats the case, get some surface movement like splashing to get the excess co2 out should help or run an airstone
