The parasites that cause slime disease in aquarium fish are sensitive to salt, and slime disease can usually be treated through a combination of raising water temperature to 86 degrees Fahrenheit (30 degrees Celsius), the addition of salt at a dose of 0.4 to 0.7 ounce per gallon (3 to 5 grams per liter), and improving environmental conditions. Warm, saline conditions should be maintained for 7 to 14 days.Not all aquarium fish tolerate salt equally well. Livebearers, killifish, cichlids, goldfish and koi are fairly tolerant of salt, so the higher dose can be used safely. Soft water aquarium fish such as tetras, barbs, rasboras and gouramis are less tolerant of salt, so the lower dose should be used. In either case raise the salinity slowly, ideally in stages across a day so that the aquarium fish and aquarium filter bacteria can adapt to the more saline conditions.
Some strains of slime disease parasites, Ichthyobodo necator, Neale Monks studied zoology at the University of Aberdeen in the north of Scotland and obtained his Ph.D. at the Natural History Museum in London. He's also been a marine biologist, a high school teacher, a university professor and a museum's exhibit designer. But his real love has always been tropical fish. His particular interest in brackish water fish culminated in his editing of the first encyclopaedic book on the topic, 'Brackish-Water Fishes', published by TFH in 2007. Neale regularly contributes to all the major English-language fishkeeping magazines, focusing especially on community tanks, biotopes, healthcare and water chemistry issues. After living in London and then for a while in Lincoln, Nebraska, Neale now lives in a quaint cottage in a pretty market town in Hertfordshire, England, where he divides his time between teaching and writing.

I found these in my guppy breeding tank, near the intake of an internal filter. They're very jelly-like seem and have little brown dots (eggs?) inside them.
Are they fish eggs? -
