I have a African Knife fish and an Elephant Nose fish, with some ropes, tank looks like it needs to be tested for ick...what is the best medicine to use since i have sensitive fish like elephant nose and knife and rope fish.
 
you gotta be careful with scaless fish. probuly salt. iv also used malicite green at a half dosage, took a long time but worked. coppersafe might not be bad, but iv never tried it on a knife. i think coppersafe is usualy less potent than milicite green is pretty intense i kno more sensistive fish cna have troubles with it.
 
salt + malachite green did the trick and i have 5 africans and 2 brown ghosts
 
Just bump up the temp and use half the suggested dosage.
