Yah, its common in betta tanks because they feed high protein/fat foods and have low current. Oily film can build up in any tank over time as most foods leave some residue. Its one of the best arguments for replacing carbon filter media and for regular, partial water changes. Oily film in tapwater would have me running to the store for bottled water, though.
