Can you increase the movement of the surface water somehow? What kind of filter do you have?

Try to net it out with a regular net. Also if you can increase the movement of water, and do a water change after you get as much of the film out of the tank as you can. Test your water for levels and make sure the fish are doing well. Good luck!

Just an idea, but what about laying kitchen roll on the top of the water. Would it pick up the film with it when you remove it?
