Hello, I am brand new and seeking advice on my fresh water fish. I have a 5 fish school of little orange tetras. This morning I found they were all in one corner and they have what seems to be air bubbles covering their little bodies. Other fish are ok and swimming well. Any Ideas

I treated water with t-tree antibacterial and increased the water flow in the pump but am afraid they will get stuck to the filter. Found one on there this morning.
 
Welcome to the forum. Looks a lot like they have Ich (whitespot) to me.

I'm not very good with fish treatments so I won't try and offer any advice. I'm sure someone will be able to point you in the right direction though.

However it would be good to get some more information.

What size is your tank?

How long has it been running? What filtration?

Water parameters. (ammonia, nitrate, nitrite, PH, temp', Hardness etc)?

Fish stock list, any of them added recently?

Sometimes a full tank photo can help as well.
 
Agreed...that looks like one of the best illustrations I've seen of ich for a long while. :(
It'd help if you could grab some even sharper pictures.
If it is the ich, then treatment will involve increasing the temperature of the tank, but before we go there, we'll need the info @xxBarneyxx 's asking for...especially what else is in there with the tetras, other than harlequin.
