hi everyone i have a 55 grow out and some of the fish in it have ich, peacocks and Datnoids. The thing is i haven't fed them anything in a while ich was never present in the tank and they are now just getting it. anyone have any ideas on how to get the ich off the peacocks is it the same treatment as if any other fish i owned?? or does anyone have a better source of treatment?? i put aquarium salt in the tank and raised the temperature to 80 degrees and did another water change. any help?? Here is a few pictures if it will help

You have to bear in mind ich can stay as low lying infection simply residing in gill tissues and strike explosively only when they sense their hosts' immune systems weakening. There is NO dormant phase for ich. The only way to completely eliminate them is continue your salt treatment (a dosage of two teaspoons per gallon; a teaspoon per gallon added every 12 hours) 10 days AFTER the last ich was spotted while maintaining elevated temp around that period.
