Mumma.of.two way! This is what she told me. Best for Fish!
Ich is a parasite so fish can not become immune.
It is in the tank now so there is no point isolating the infected unless if makes you feel better.
To treat:
Increase temp slowly to 86-88F
Increase aeration
Increase water changes and gravel vacs atleast 3 times a week. more if possible
Leave temp up for at least one week after last spot is seen
Slowly decrease temp to normal
You can add a little salt if you like. It can help avoid infection in the sites where the ich leaves the body of the fish. Plenty of clean water helps a avoid this also.

This is the way I did it, and I had MILD Ich. This is the best way, no salt though Valuable Cories. Pleco can sometimes be sensitive too.
