fish has mucus around eye

he was fine a two days ago.. but yesterday he developed a mucus-like covering around his eye and went to the top of the tank. I added some salt, and he seemed to like it, whenever i put in a little bit of salt, the mucus seemed to receede, so i added some last night. This morning i woke up and found that the mucus had come back, should i up the salt treatment? Or can anyone reccomend a better way to get rid of the mucus?
 
what fish, tank size, Paramiters, Water change schedule etc etc etc
 
its a 125g with 2 balas, an albino rainbow shark, and a barb, parameters are pretty much clear, i change the water (about 20%) every week
 
The last time I had fish having some sort of mucus in the eye, I was having water quality issues. I had it before with tinfoil barbs. Not exactly sure what you mean by your water parameters being clear... but would it be possible for you to post your exact values? Numbers I mean. As I was saying about my tinfoil barbs before, I just did some major water changes, when water quality was back to normal, the mucus and haziness in their eyes went away on its own. Good luck to you :o
