Are the spots fluffy or do they look like salt is on the body of the fish itself?

How many fish and what do you have in the tank?

Sounds like your fish have ich.

And you say a balloon eye, is the possibility of being popeye. Popeye can occure due to bad water quality. CLICK HERE! for a link on popeye and see if any of the images look similar to what your fish may have.
Do any of the images ook similar??

I would suggest doing a water change in your tank about 30% water change.
Also for the medication I suggest finding something like the following....

Ick Clear by Jungle.

Where abouts are you located? This will help in giving you some medication ideas more.

Also it sounds like your tank is way over stocked. If I have done my research correctly your tank is only 23 gallons. And you have over 20+ fish in there. This is a problem as this is why your fish are probably getting sick. So if you can I would suggest getting rid of some fish, this will also help your fish get better and stay healthier in the long run!

Super Ick Cure by API (Aquarium Pharmaceuticals Incorported) should be at a local fish store near you.
Also if your putting the right amount of salt in your tank this should be helping with getting rid of your ich.

As for your fish you can see if a local fish store may take them. Sell them in the classfieds of a local newspaper if you can. Check Aquabid.com as many people sell things on there and you can sell your things as well
