So i have had these issues for a while now and im getting pretty frustrated... I think it might be some sort of internal parasite... Symptoms: flashing, twiching, flicking fins and loss of apetite... They eat but not as much or agressively. No sign of external parasites and water condition is good (i had issues earlier with the water) some suggestions on medicine or anything i can do to help.. i have polypterus, oscar, black knife fish, silverdollars and couple siamece algae eaters.

Levamisole HCL dosed at 2ppm is fine with a BGK. BGK are not necessarily scaleless fish. If you take a picture of the BGK body and invert the color, you will see scale pattern on BGK. My lungfish (truly scaleless) was fine with levamisole.
Make sure it is Levamisole Hydrochloride or Levamisole HCL. In some countries like the US, it is a common roundworm dewormer for cattle, sheep, and goats.
You can buy it online like Amazon. It's sold as Prohibit Cattle Dewormer. More information here on getting the proper 2ppm dosing and dosing period
