For the first few days it is fine to have aeration with
hatching nothos. I didn't think it mattereed but heard
somewhere that some water aeration decreased the belly
sliding problems. I've never done experiments to prove
this but it hasn't done any harm so far...
For the first few days I have vigourous aeration and
then tone it down such that the water still moves and is
cycled over. Water changes are done once a day, 50% from
a stock tank where they will be moved to.
Once the fry hatch I never have problems with the nothos
till they sex out where some species become a pain...
