did you remove the carbon from your filter because if not then it will remove the medicine from your water. if you left your carbon in then remove it. you said you used ick clear is that the jungle brand? if it is i think its good stuff. if you did remove your carbon and that happened and your water quality is good then post some pics to make sure its ick.

yeah pic would help and yeah if you left carbon in then it would just take all meds out, i personally wouldnt even use those harsh ich meds as they are extremely hard on the fish's systems and a stressed fish is more prone to getting ich in the first place, i would do big wc, make sure all meds are out, make sure temp is back up to 86 and then add 1tsp per gallon salt today (or tomorrow if you cant do it tonight) and then add another tsp per gallon salt the day after, and then just leave the tank alone for two weeks (as long as your nitrates dont climb to high, i can go 2 weeks without my nitrates getting above 10 so this is what i did but if yours get to high within the week then do 50% change and make sure to re add the 1tsp per gallon that you removed with the wc) you can also go up to 3tsp per gallon if the ich is really bad just make sure to do it the day after you add the 2nd tsp per gallon so salinity is raised slow enough to be safe for the fish, GOOD LUCK
