    You should be ok to treat the tank with a regiment of API Super Ick Cure. This would also add a slime coat to your other fish to protect them, Remove any carbon filters, and do a 20% water change 48 hours after applying. I've great luck with this product.

    what temp do you keep ur tank at? you could also try raising the temp by a couple degrees, it will increase the life cycle of ich, by try to keep it less than 81-82.
