As stated by others, it's heterotrophic bacteria growth that consume organic compounds in the water column. A fishes cycle doesn't allow these types of bacteria to grow to a full colony. Just wait it out, and it will disappear.

Seachem Prime will neutralize Seachem Paraguard when dosed within 1 hour of each other. So you should wait over 1 hour after dosing your water with Seachem Prime, and then add Seachem Paraguard. Don't bother with Seachem Stability until after the ich treatment.
