I assume you took all the water out, scrubbed the tank, and then replaced the water, treated it, and added the fish? This is an incorrect way to clean your tank, and will usually result in the death of your fish. Get a siphon, get someone that knows what they are talking about at a local fish store to show you how to use it, siphon your gravel with it, and take about 25-50% of your water out while siphoning and then replace. Leave the fish in the tank the whole time. Removing them in a non emergency situation will cause more harm than good. I hope the stuff that reduces stress is stress coat or ammo lock. This product will remove chlorine, and chlorine is guaranteed to kill you fish. If you follow the directions I gave, you won't have to worry about air bubbles. Siphons are made for really small tanks by the way, you just need to look for one.

umm,,,, i guess the bubbles are normal because the bubbles mean that the wate was aggitated, so unless u were like really agitating it there shouldnt be bubbles but they r okay because fish need some air, and to help with the dying fish it wasnt a good time to clean the tank because cleaning the tank puts stress on the fish, but u should put it in its own smaller bowl, and cover it with a towel to let it calm down because if fish get too stressed, they die. Hope i helped and good luck with the dying fish!

i say you just get a bigger tank and maybe a filter to help it get cleaned out
