Don't use medication on your fishes unless it is absolutely necessary.
Thanks for your comments.

My water should be pH 7+ toward 8.
I believed that looks liek slime, but not sure. In fact I was thinking whether is the salt content in the water that may cause this. I didn't measure the salt content, but should be quite high.

May I should do a 50% water change and see how.

Thanks.

High pH will cause the fish to emit more slime. It has nothing to do with the salt in the water and infact if you add in more salt, some slime will slowly shed off from the surface of the fish, but if your pH remains high, eventually another layer of slime will form.
