I have 9 2in bass in my 200gal 7 azuls and 2 kelberi and only the 2 kelberi have white spots all over them. How should I go about this??

I have Kordon Mlalachite gree, paraguard, cupramine, copper safe, ich-x, pazipro........What should I do??
 
Try salt or meds. Increase temps slowly to 86 degrees and add salt as mentioned ( 1tsp per gallon x3 about 6hrs apart). 50% water changes and add the amount of salt back to the tanks. Vacuum gravel and clean filters etc. Add a power head to make sur the water is churning. Do this for about 10-14 days and should go away. Usually keep treatment for a week after spots disappear.

Other option is meds, ParaGuard, ich-x and malachite green. In that order of use but got watch ur pH and malachite green.

Up the temp to 90 and add 1 tsp per gallon of aquarium salt
hello; I have followed a few threads about ich and will add this. The temperature raise with salt seems to be by far the most commonly suggested way to deal with ich. If you decide to try this method I think it is important that the other medications not be used at the same time.

Kelberi and orino seem cery susceptible to ich. Bump the temp add salt. If a must I recommed kordon rid ich.

So what would be the quickest and safest way to go?? These bass are all in a 200 gallon tank. I have a 300watt heater and added a 200waty heater in the tank and with so cal weather right now it's hard to get it above 78. And as for the wc it might have to weight since it's going to rain the next couple days.
 
Can try meds if it’ll be a challenge with temps. Try the ParaGuard or ich-x.
 
Won’t be quick but it’s still safe.
 
Meds arent necessary imo. Slowly raise temp to 88-90 and add salt as directed. Add a powerhead/airstone to generate a lot of surface disruption. Good luck
