"I have a 100 gallon tank with clown loaches a yo yo loach some goramies basically fish that have been together for a year or more. I have put a Chiclid into the tank from another tank but he is not showing the symptoms as my other fish it started with what looked like a scrap on one of my goramies I figured he got into aq fight, it healed over. But I rearanged some ornaments in my tank and noticed my 4 year old clown loach had a chunk of flesh missing from his side, you can actually see the meat and bines, now it is spreading to my other fish I have tried raising the temperature and aquarium salt. I asked at one of the two pet stores we have and was told to use the ick medication even though I have clown loaches and other scales fish I lost 2 fish so far and it just does not look like ick I have had ick before and cured it with aquarium salt. I was just looking into the tank and my pleco was on the side and he now has a oblong patch of white to big to be ick, it is not dots nor is it furry.
