Default Bubbles on surface

no.. you cannot achieve supersaturation just pushing air into the tank with regular
high volume low pressure air pumps. the aeration is excellent for your fish.
perhaps you have some proteins in the tank that are forming those bubbles. most
common cause is spawning but a heavy load of organics will do it too.

Lately, I have noticed a lot of air bubbles sticking to the sides of
the aquarium.
I have 2 air pump of each 1800litres/hour capacity for my 50 gallons
pump. I have 7 adult goldfish.
What could be the reasons for these tiny bubbles, looks similar to
soap bubbles though. Will it affect the oxygen intake of the fish.
Regards.
