I had the same problem and was scared to use malachite green even with low dosage so I searched around and found this:
Fish Vet Freshwater Ecolibrium

http://www.aquariumpro.net/p-FSVECOF,CLR.html

It is safe on scaleless fish like clown loaches - used it and it worked like a charm.
If your going to order it online then just continue with increased temp and aquarium salt treatment along with water changes until the product arrives. Good luck - hope this helped.

Freshwater dip them
:confused:

Hyposalinity works on SW fish only. This is FW and dip will do nothing. Treat the whole tan, not the individual fish.
