ABSTRACT:
A strainer structure for an aquarium, has an improved bubbles generator for producing finer bubbles and increasing oxygen solution. The micro bubbles generator is located between an air intake tube, and an oxygen solution tube and has a plurality of vent seams. When air is supplied from an air vent tube, air passes through the vent seams, into the water and is mixed with water to provide for the solution of oxygen in water. Improved oxygen solution by volume is achieved by forming a greater number of smaller bubbles by air passing through the by a plurality of vent seams. A surface of a sponge of the strainer has a saw-tooth shape which increase contact area with water and expands beneficial space for water animals to reside. A guide cap on which the sponge is mounted has a conical outer configuration to provide a conical area believes the guide cap and the sponge to increase the attachment sponge for water animals.
