Water change, and keep an eye on excess food. I had that a while ago too- seems to be too much protein in the water.

 

[Edwin]

oh i did 2 50% changes last week. do i need more???

I agree. I would also guess that your water level has some to do with it, too. (power filters cascading into tank)
What's your tank load? (tank size, fish load, filtration)

Do you use stress coat?

Well, unless you feed heavily, that's not the problem.

Are you medicating the tank at all? I know that Melafix will have some soapy looking foam.
