Hi Mike, better check with a fish doctor first; the 'slime' on fish is a
symbiotic collection of bacteria that help to protect the fish against
other pests, including bacteria, and also help it slip through the water
more easily. Next thing you know, they'll be painting the outside of the
F-16 with fish-goo!<g> OTOH, would squirting a MiG-29 with CS bring it
down, or just keep on topic?

I'd bet that the CS promptly killed just about every bacterium in the
water within a minute or two...
And on the fish!
If you want to try treating a fish with CS, transfer it to a jar of
properly conditioned new water with added CS for a while.
Better not, or just practice on some feeders, but don't feed them to
anything in your aquarium.
If you want to isolate a fish, I'd suggest a decent sized quarantine
tank with simple fixtures (no gravel or plants) and good aeration. The
big problem will be keeping the wastes from building up in the absence
of filtration. Only frequent and consistent vacuuming and water changes
will do.
Be well,
Mike D.
