Hi there,
ignore the pet store people, thats a line of BS.
Salt wont help produce slime coat. All Aquarium salt does
in water is assist in osmosis by makng the skin more porous.
Its a waste of time and money.

What kind of medicine are you using?
Most medicines work quite well if you follow
a schedule of 4 doses, then a 35% water change.
This will prevent any med from building up to a lethal
dosage in the water, but allow for enough of the med
to remain to treat the fish successfully.
