Is this Ick?

Crappy pics but you can kind of see the white spots. Looks much worse in person and the fish are scratching themselves against the rocks. I Have already turned up the heaters and added salt. Is there anything else I can do? I don't have a hospital tank. So far it is on all three loaches and the green terror.

It certainly looks like it is ich. It also sounds like you've already taken the right steps. Good luck.

Thanks Blacktip. I am just really hoping it does not get on the Datinoid.

yeah it gets alil tricky with scale less fish

you can still use quick cure at half strength or you can also try **** i forget the name same brand we use it on all of our knives...

There are several treatments that you can use at half-strength with scaleless fish. If you don't see an improvement within forty-eight hours with the increased temperature and salt, I'd use one, carefully following the directions for scaleless fish.

Looks like ich, keep the heat and salt going for at least 10 days, Since it is already in the tank you should just treat the whole tank.

Aquarisol that is what we use for the knives look it up and check for your loach but it should be just fine... if we can see the spots in such a blurry pic it may not be ich (ich should look like a grain of salt)

I use salt and bumped the temp to 86 and higher. 1 teaspoon per 5 g should do the trick ...
