Hypoxia through adding O2?? Hypoxia means suffocating , O2 shortageHypoxia if you began pumping o2 i
Not true, mentioned already.1) You can add more CO2 and not suffocate fish.
Remember CO2 and O2 exist independently in the water, adding CO2 does not displace CO2. However monsterous levels of CO2 (over 30ppm) will overcome a fishes ability to excrete CO2, despite O2 being in the water and fish will have issues.

You can add more CO2 because at higher o2 levels fish can handle more co2.
What I've read this is the other way around. You can add more O2 because your CO2 levels are higher.
I'm a non CO2 user, because I can find quite enough ways of accidentally killing my fish, but I would be very careful going down this route, because it won't work for all fish.You can add more CO2 because at higher o2 levels fish can handle more co2. So if you have 5 ppm O2 maybe you can only add 10 ppm of co2 until fish start gasping for air.. If you have 9 ppm o2 you might be able to add 50 ppm of CO2. Im not saying one displaces the other. This is about fish respiration.
Not sure about this, only if it means no CO2 can get bound to the haemoglobin, but most gets transported as bicarbonate anyway. Never heard about this phenomena in fresh water.increased oxygen in the water actually increases the CO2

There is an explanation here: <"CO2 and ....">.
