I would also add salt. How big is the afro? Under 7" I know they are very sensitive. Search for guppys post on how to treat ick
Do salt and heat for now. Treatment must be done for 14 days minimum. Ich becomes worse in the middle of the treatment however you have to be patient as it will eventually fade away. If the salt does not help after 14 days, then you can use meds as your last resort. Be warned however most meds can destroy the beneficial bacteria and may severely affect the water conditions which can also affect your fish.
The Africans are about 3 to 4 inches, I really didn't want to use salt because the tank is a natural tank with live plants, got the heat up to 82, they look great. I might have to get rid of the plants, they're replaceable
