depending on the type of fish I would recomend using Aquarium salt one rounded tablespoon per 5 gallons I believe is what the directions say. Second find out what is causing it could it be stress could it be from water conditions???

Ya, salt is a good fix, but remove any snails if you have them to another tank.
Salt will kill freshwater snails...
