Have you tested your water lately? If you don't have a test kit could you bring a sample of your water to your local petshop and ask them to do one for you tomorrow? I don't suppose by any chance you have a dissecting microscope stuck in a closet somewhere, or a friend with one, so you could you to take a look at it? (I don't)
One possibility is that your biofilter isn't working properly and needs to be cleaned, but I wouldn't do that until trying some other possibilities first as it will cause a problem with your cycle.
How often do you feed your fish? Is it possible that it is an accumulation of uneaten food?
*BEFORE you buy fish make sure you understand what "Cycling" a tank means <- quoted from miskaral* ~Trying to make a difference one fish at a time~
