has anyone tried "Ick Out Sensitive" by Wardley for catfish and other sensitive fish?

NOPE!!!!!! 1/2 dosage for ich meds, or less. Add salt and bump temp to 86. Worked great with my RTC's. If using meds, then 1/2 the dosage and keep the temp at 86.

Why is that? Mine has never been sick, just curious.

Just to point it out the "Ick Out Sensitive" is meant for catfish, loaches, other sensitive fish, etc. So do i still have to do half the dose?

Also can i use both meds and salt together?

Since most catfish are scaleless they are very sensitive to meds and it can harm them. So most people recommend 1/2 dose.
