How do you take care of bubbles forming on the top of your fish tank?

Question

I bought a 5 gallon fish tank, i followed all the info that came with the tank, pre-rinsed everything and added my water, also threw in the water conditioner, that removes chlorine&chloramine, i did run the tank 24 hours before i threw the fish in, all the sudden i have bubbles building on the surface of the water, am wondering what is causeing this.

Bubbles are on top of water, and again i only have one small zebra fish inside the tank, he/she has been in there for 3 days and nothing happend until this moring when i went to feed him/she and there where bubbles covering the top of the water, and if this is a nesting thing how long does this last?
