I have had my aquarium for about 3 months now. I have 5 Tiger Barbs and 1 Red Tail Shark. There have never been bubbles floating around my aquarium up until about a week ago. I don't know why they are there or what is causing them. Obvioulsy they are not harmful but just wondering why they are showing up now and not before.
The only change I have made recently is to thier food. I had flakes and now I am giving them freeze dried medley.

Really can't say without more info about your tank setup. Barbs and sharks are not bubble nest builders, so thats not it. Bubbles are formed by gas, so any overage of gases in the water can result in bubbles. If you are cleaning your tank and changing part of the water on a weekly basis, then you shouldn't have to worry.
