Try skimming the surface with a piece of kitchen towel, it is a bit weird-looking but I think it's ok.
But, as @Martinspuddle says, test if you think anything may be awry.

If it's that quick it must be bubbles, so not a major problem....but @fr499y's suggestion is probably the right one.

The guppies may enjoy that a bit too much and tire themselves out, they such crankies!
Looks like it's cleared the bits.
You won't run it all the time will you?
