These bubbles have been present since the tank has been established. Water parameters are good for an oscar. Any tips? There does appear to be a super thin oil slick as well. I know that's a protein build up but I have way more then enough surface agitation. Any thoughts?

 
When I get this oily film occasionally I give the surface about 6 to 8 spray pumps from a spray bottle of straight H2O2. Next morning it's all gone. Flake food seems to cause it most for me. The NLS pellets never cause it. OS.
 
I'm using omega one cichlid pellets, superworms and occasionally blood worms and plankton
