Ich

[MichaelM]

About 2 weeks ago i noticed ich in my tank so i bumped my temp up to 86. I havent lost any fish and theres no signs of ich on any if the fish but my clown pleco. He still has yellow and white dots on him that look slightly raised. How should i go about treating this?

Heres some pics sorry for the bad quality

Keep doing the heat treatment. In your case I would not add any salt to assist. Pleco's are scaleless and this can hurt them. Keep doing heat for 2 weeks after the last sign of ick. If all is well, slowly ease off the temperature back to normal. No more than 2 degrees every 45-60 minutes to prevent stress.

Check temp at depth. I assume it will be 86 all over but just in case. With heat method you don't want any deep, tucked away spots that might go colder.
