Fish stressed by bubble wall?

Are there any fish that it is not good to have a bubble wall with? I
put one in the other day and the neons and harlequins seem to do more
huddling than swimming around while it is running. It is at the back
wall, across half the tank so there is plenty of swimming room while
avoiding the bubbles. I am still not sure about keeping it due to the
noise, but if the fish are going to be stressed all the time I won't
bother at all.

Bubble walls may be aesthetically pleasing, but try to use only as much
aeration as the fish really need. Purchase an oxygen test kit, and see
if the oxygen concentration of the water is sufficient without the
bubble wall installed. If so, don't use it. If not, then get an
adjustable valve for the air hose and consider turning down the air
current a bit.
