Keep them in the hospital tank for a couple of weeks and treat with api general cure or prazi pro to make sure there are no internal parasites

To add to this, keep the water clean, no substrate, good filter, and good quality diet. Moniter every day for any diseases

This is a good idea, i wish i had room for a hostpital tank, i got a fish that had white spot that and every one ended up with it, took 2 week to got rid of

All great ideas, but if you wanted to go a route with no medication do an Epsom salt food soak with a food like nls that has garlic in it and feed em with that for 3-5 days (1 tablespoon to every 500ml, then drip on food until soaked, but not submerged) and that will flush their system from most of the common internals, then around four to six weeks later they should be ready to go assuming no issues arise. Just a safer and less harmful but very effective for new fish in quarantine.

This. Epsom salt works well too just takes a bit longer

i've found that the best way to treat ick is to turn the heat up to 88 and do frequent water changes for about a week or two. the ick can't live at the higher temps, and the higher temps speed up the ick life cycle. the water changes will get rid of all the spores as well

All fish carry ick, stress and poor water quality among other things can make them succumb to it.
