bubbles in water

Question
I filled a fish bowl with water.  Have not put fish in it yet.  but there are lots of bubbles.  How do I get rid of the bubbles?

Answer
Hi Cindy,
  It is quite normal for the there to be lots of air bubbles in the glass.  You can wipe them off with your hand.  One thing: be sure that there is no soap on your hand.  Never put any soap anywhere near a fish bowl or fish tank. Soap will kill fish -- it dissolves the protective slime that fishes have on their bodies.
