    Aerial bacteria are in very low density generally. Unless you are near a sewage plant that is regular aerosolizing bacteria it should not be an issue. I guess if you had an aquarium without a lid in in the bathroom, it is possible. If this is a large concern a tight fitting lid and turning off any air pump will quickly show if it is from airborne bacteria. However, it is very possible to introduce bacteria in higher numbers if they are using well water or their own water source. City waters are routinely monitored and should be shut off or switch to boil advisory if the bacteria levels rise, but that won't be true of home systems. The most likely cause is just too much undigested organic material in the tank, which is usually the result of overfeeding. I would have them siphon all the mulm they can out of the tank, change 50% of the water at least, reduce feeding, and be patient. Bacterial blooms usually consume all the organic matter quickly and then they die back, its the dieing though that is dangerous to the fish as they reduce oxygen in the water. A couple of good water changes should get this under control quickly.

    Tea 100% of the time when I'm home. I mostly drink Gyokuro Kubese during the day (made with 60C water so as not to burn the tea- yep, I love my tea so much I got a temperature adjustable jug so I could make it just right lol) & switch to a fruity herbal (summer & autumn) or chia tea (winter & spring) after about 1pm. The only coffee I drink is barista made when I'm out & about if I need a pick me up - usually get a cappa with cinnamon, no sugar or hot chocolate- coconut milk, no sugar. I'm not keen on the stuff they call tea that gets sold in stores. I've become an unabashed tea snob. Bit of a rant- I wholeheartedly wish we could buy good store-bought cups of properly made Gyokuro Kubese or any Sencha really, but usually the green tea they serve tastes more like the local crazy cat lady's grass clippings from last summer as it's boiled to death & lower quality to begin with... "can't get a decent cup of store-bought green tea in NZ" rant done lol.

      It might be tank size dependant My experience with Macaw is they are pretty placid, but lot of people have said otherwise. Heckelii are also pretty docile, so it might be ok. Personally, I have always thought Heckelii go best when they are the only cichlids in the aquarium, so I would not likely do it myself.

      @TheFishRoom Wow, thanks, I just subscribed. I've had 10 & 20 gallon tanks & I've tried various hang on back filters & under gravel filters. I think there is something in the air b/c I have been able to replicate the problem in a clean cup + distilled water with only the air as a source of microbial life. Also, some saltwater fish keepers told me b/c I clean things around my apartment with rubbing alcohol, the fumes could stimulate bacteria to grow out of control. (They do this on purpose in saltwater, it's called "carbon dosing" & their protein skimmer is suppsed to filter the bacteria out, but I even tried saltwater & my cheap protein skimmer did not solve the problem.) Most people tell me 'Just complete the nitrogen cycle!!!!' But, my tests show 0ppm Ammonia, 0ppm Nitrites, 0ppm Nitrates. Maybe the bacteria from the air is eating organic molecules directly, so I never see Ammonia, Nitrate or Nitrate. It is possible I have too many organic molecule nutrients in the water, but no way to test for them. I guess it is also possible the hydrocarbon fumes in the air could be interfering w/ my tests, but I tried both the API Master Test Kit with liquids + test strips, so I do not think so.
