air bubbles or ich?

[roggy23]

is it possible for air bubbles to lach on to fins?

Where would they come from? Are there lots of air bubbles in the tank?
I would be more suspicious of sand grains which can get stuck in the slime layer of a fish if you are looking for a possibility other then ich.

sand grains might be the correct answer elf, thanks.

well, air bubbles wont hurt a fish, so if everything is allright with them, activity,appetite, not rubbing themselves on rock or ornaments, things like that.
if they arent eating and just sitting around, chances are, they have ich....treat immediatley

ICK usually looks like salt sprinkled on your fish. It normally starts around the tummy and fins. There are lots of treaments available if it turns out to be ICK. Check your local pet store.
