Keep up the salt and heat (85) for about 3 weeks. Personally I try and stay away from chemicals unless they're absolutely needed.

Every one tells me not to use salt on red tails they can't tollerate it. And those spots are his markings. There supposed. To be eyes to scare away big fish.

Also IV had the heat at 87 for aboutca week

Ich is a 3 week life cycle process. Are you positive they have it? Or are you just treating to make sure they dont get it?

I don't think they have. it but the fish that was in there defitnally did he died a few hours ago but I took him out when I noticed it. I'd like to make sure they don't get it. /

I wouldn't treat until you actually see signs but you can do precautionary measures like the others suggested.

Should I keep the heat up? I also do 50% water changes every day.

If your just being precautionary so they dont get it. Keep the temp at 85 with no salt or at least very little and keep on top of your water changes. Do that for at least another week. If no symptoms occur then id say your fine and dandy. Also with a temp that high id recommend an air stone if you dont have one in there already.
