While checking my tank and fish I noticed my rabbit fish had this translucent film/slime on him. His eating and doing well anyone know what it may be?
 
I had the same problem with mine. @Humblefish told me they just have really thick mucous coats... here's a video of mine from a few months ago, you can see the slime kind of sloughing off him. He's doing just fine now.

 
Any pics of the fish? It's hard to diagnose by what you said.

Any other symptoms? Heavy breathing, scratching, flashing, swimming in to powerheads, suddenly hiding more, hiding from light, not eating as much, etc.

Nope swimming around, eating looks to be doing good. Can't get any pics he's shy.
