This is ust a question on how to cure ich. Do i just put the medicine in or should i move the infected fish in a hospital tank? Also doesnt the plants and the gravel also get infected by the parasites?

well you could turn the temp u to like 86 and that will speed the cycle up of the parasite...i would just make a hospital tank
You have to treat the whole tank for ICH, hospital tank will not work in this case. Salt and heat are the most effective. I would start with a 50% water change. Then add 1 tablespoon per 5 gallons of water and increase heat to 85 degrees. You will see the signs of ICH disapear after a couple days but keep the heat up for at least 14 days to kill of whats in the gravel.
