I've noticed a couple white dots on my weather loach, and some on my betta. They are in the same tank with the mollies and cories. How should I treat these fish for Ich? I used salt with my goldfish and that always worked great, but I think these fish won't tolerate salt, right? What can I do? :(
 
Heat treatment(IMO) is the best way to treat any FW fish. Aquarium Salt has very, very limited uses. Slowly raise the temperature to 86* F. Leave it there for at least two weeks(3-4 would be ideal). This will speed up the lifecycle of the ich.
 
I would suggest 88F. Up your aeration as the O2 levels in warm water are much lower.
