Main tank 120 gallon, ammonia 0, nitrites 0, nitrates 15 ,temp 80 F.

Just treated for ich with heat and salt. Only saw a few spots on a clown loach, but I had a few fish flashing and a couple of unexplainable deaths prior to seeing the ich spots. Haven't see any ich spots in 10 days.

I never saw ich on my glass cats, but now two of them have several opaque milky marks on them. Their behavior is normal. What is wrong with them and what should I do? Is this just healing from ich I did not see or do they have some kind of bacterial or fungal infection?

I've only done one small 10% water change to start lowering the salt, so my salt concentration is still slightly over 1tsp/gallon. (Yes, I've been doing regular water changes but replacing the salt until now) Could the salt be causing them problems?
 
Ouch. I don't know what those milky white spots are on them, but it doesn't sound good. They turn an opaque white all over when they die.

The last time I treated for ich in my tank, all my glass cats died. They are a delicate species, and I just pray that nothing goes wrong in my tank now that I have 5 more.

I hope someone else has experience in this matter and can help you. Just wanted to let you know my experience with sick glass cats.
