You'll have to treat the whole tank then without having a H/Q tank. First don't add two different meds at the same time. If I were you I'd do a large water change to get rid of those meds.
All your fish are at risk of being overdosed. It's alright to use Rid-
ICK, but use at a half dosage. The meds will burn the puffers
skin. {I did a search and read this} Treat at half dose until the ICK is gone, then treat for three more days. You can also try a salt bath.

ok...well I put the puffer in a small critter tank, and the rid-ich is made weaker for scaleless fish. It says on the bottle that it can be safely used at regular dosage for tanks with scaleless fish. So..since last night the brown fungus on his sides has completely cleared up, but he still has the white ich spots :\. Now i'm just waiting on him to tought it out with the aid of the rid ich treatments. I added a dose of rid-ich in the main aquarium also just to be safe and kill any parasites that may have rubbed off him. Thanks a ton for the advice :] i'm gonna go do a 50% water change now.
