thats normal.. when the tank gradually heats up they go.. you can help them along with your hand or magnetic cleaner tho :)
 
ok thanks for that ,i have also attached a photo, was thinking of putting a cave in back right hand corner, would that be to much in the tank or not(sorry for poor quality of picture)

dont think it would be too much at all ( i know ive never stuck with 1 idea for very long,so its nice to experiment.. have u thought about coconut caves)..i notice some light coming through from behind? if i were you i would stick on black bin bags ( that looks better than it sounds believe me) and of course youre free to change when you get the backing you want, just saves hassle with algae ( ive used this method with all my tanks.

is a lamp on table next to it, planning getitng a background for it next time iam near fish shop
 
The bubbles are there because it there wasn't enough aeration when you added it. When you do a water change be sure to swish the water around in the bucket that your using before you add it to the tank. Those bubbles could be deadly to the fish.
