Wolf Fish (Hoplias malabaricus) are actually more salt-tolerant than most characins.
What size is the fish, and what size tank is it in? Is your friend still currently treating with salt? If not, are you certain that the ICH has been cured completely?
Based on the little info that you gave, I'd suggest two things. Get the fish on a varied diet. A diet strictly composed of goldfish is really inadequate for these fish; try to feed a variety of raw fish flesh, 'silversides', and raw shrimp. Secondly, try upping the volume of the water changes (as well as the frequency if done less than once a week). I find that my wolves are less listless and eat better with large volume changes.
