I"m not sure if they are scaleless but its seems like most of hte catifsh are sensitive to meds. I would treat with 1/2 strengh or meds especially for scaleless fish.

Well my clownloaches are scaless. and orion girl told me to use..salt.. a teaspoon for every gallon.. give a teaspoon every 3-4 hours. until limit is reached. also raise the temprature (if itsich were talking about here) that did it for me. Example

20g tank... 3-4 hours.. add tablespoon of salt(dont forget to stir up salt in glass of water then add) reapeat every 3-4 hours
