I wonder it if happen before shipping . I don’t think right barely 30 hours later itch show up like this , I feel like it happen before
It looks like it has turned quite bad already, I suggest you quickly get ich X medication or any other medication with methylene blue to rid ick. I’ll let other chime in.
Add at least 3 lbs of salt per 100 gallons, or get an Ick med like one of those suggested above.
I prefer using salt (NaCl), but mostwork.
Treat this way at least 3 weeks.

Increasing heat that high plus medications will reduce the oxygen content , and stress your fish further (make it more susceptible to secondary bacterial infection like columnaris).
Just use the medication. You can try again later with heat and medication if the medication is not enough to get rid of the ich within 2 weeks
Also when doing a water change, wait around 2-3 hours after using water conditioner to re-dose with medication.
