How do you stop your fish from gasping for air?
If your fish are swimming up to the surface and gasping for air it a sure sign that there is not enough oxygen in the tank; another sign may be an increased flaring of the gills. You need to buy a filter for the tank (or if you already have one a stronger filter) in order to more efficiently replenish the oxygen supply. If the 'tank' is a small bowl, change the water more often. You don't take them out of the water.
Why do fish eat air bubbles and spit them back out?
There not really eating them they are trying to get the oxygen out of them so that they can survive if they are doing this unless they are a betta fish it probably means there isnt enough oxygen in the tank for them which usually happens if you have a fish in a tank to small for it or have to many fish in one tank you probably want to upgrade your tank or get rid of some fish if they are doing this. Also if you dont have a filter for the tank get one! it will help add oxygen to the water and is necessary for almost any fish to survive.

The aerator in a fish tank pushes air into the water. Some of the oxygen from the air stays in the water so that the fish in the aquarium can breath it. Even though fish live in the water, they still need oxygen to live. When they pass the water through their gills, the oxygen in the water is taken into the fish's blood stream.
