ich is a parasite. the best way to rid the fish of ich is to increase the temperature. This will speed up the parasites life cycle.
second, i would add aquarium salt to the water. ich is a freshwater parasite so by adding aquarium salt it will kill them off. (there is a marine ich, but that is a different story)
then i would add jungle buddies ich clear. i personally i like this product. while the first two steps are enough this product is good for protection against secondary infections.
