Ich? Put the temp to like 85 but make sure there is plenty of o2. Salt helps and water changes help, I wouldn't bother with meds
When you say increasing temp to what 30 c? when doing water changes are you dosing the new water with salt? have you completely dosed your tank with salt from start ie total volume
It sounds like you have done everything right, I've tried meds before that die your tank and don't seem to do anything I was also putting melafix in clean up any wounds abrasions created. Waiting game
Yes, the salt and heat treatment for ich will work in most cases, but as you have found out it takes time. Sorry that you lost fish in the process. Ich is one thing I don't fool around with. It can kill fish quickly. Unless you have fish that are sensitive to medication, I advise people to use Quick Cure (medication) when dealing with it. IMO it is the best medication for ich and works the fastest.
