Is it new? Did you add new decorations?
The bubbles in your tank, although I don't believe to be harmful can be caused by a number of things:
The dechlor you use for your water. Some are "thicker" than others. Or you may have used too much.
The water you used for your tank has a higher level of Phosphorous (not a dangerous level) and this too will cause the "Foam"
Sometimes when starting a newer tank, the gravel and decorations haven't been cleaned well enough. This is just the residues coming to the surface and being agitated by the filter. This is the same with the filter pads.
Unless it starts foaming over the top, I would just check your water quality.
It is common when water changes are done or new filter pads added to a tank.

As long as you can be absolutely certain that it is not soap or other chemicals, there is nothing to worry about. You may want to check your filters after a while just to make sure that they haven't clogged up with any of this stuff though.
