You can use a product called Stress Coat which can help keep the slime film healthy. You also need to make sure the water condition is good and you can get water samples tested at pet shops (call first to check). Make sure to keep the tank in an area away from sudden loud noises and drastic temperature changes. Keep objects in the tank for the fish to hide.
