I did see that but it is very unrealistic for me to be aging water.The link by RD showed ageing the water helped to stop the excessive slimecoat production.
If I had the room for that much water to be laying around id have More tanks ?

Yeah, happened with my chocolate Bobo too...late fall and early winter, bubbles and sheets of slime coat. Has pretty much stopped now. I do fills in the tank slowly which seems to help dissolved gasses disperse a bit.Same things happening with my Bichir. Ive noticed it twice.
I haven’t had this problem in a long time! Maybe since my angelfish tank leaked and was taken down.Bump! I realize this is a very old thread, but I recently begun experiencing something similar (airbubbles on fish but no visible extra slime) and thought of a possible solution Niki_up may benefit from too.
From hereon, I'm going to be putting the dechlorinator and the end of the Python into one of the hang on back filters, so that the water can splash down from it, get aerated, and have the dissolved gases removed.
The media can be kept in a bucket of old water until the tank is full, if need be. Anything I'm missing about this or does this have all bases covered?
