Default Too many bubbles from airstone??

Well, I have two small goldfish in a 5 gallon tank. I know I know,
thats not enough room but thats all I can afford at the moment.
Anyway, I bought a 15 gallon air pump (i'm looking into getting a
bigger tank) which is attached to a filter, and and airstone. The
airstone is blasting out bubbles and its making the top of the whole
tank all bubbly/foamy. There is hardly any surface water that isn't
bubbly. Is this normal or do I need to do something? Thanks for any
help.

You ever go to garage sales? I get 10-gal. tanks all the time for like 2
bucks. Heck, even if they want 5, that's half-price. Often they even have
some filters and such with it. Usually it's not high-end stuff, but hey...

My husband once got me an 80-gal. tank, in excellent condition, not a
leaker, not scratched up--for $20 at a garage sale! Yes, that was eighty
gallons and twenty bucks! I kissed his feet for a long time...

Craig's list for your area is also a good place to look.

My outlook on tanks is, the more the merrier! I stockpile them. I may need
one, or hey I may get one of my friends hooked on fish, you never know.
