Ich or no?

Hi all!

I had a wonderful post typed with all kinds of info, when the page crashed after hitting the post button...so, I'm just going to keep this short and sweet to see if it works...

I have a tank with various mollies, cory catfish, a pictus catfish, and a pleco. One of the black mollies has white spots between some of its scales. We were worried of ich, so we've slowly raised the temp to 86F and have added 1TBS salt/10 gallons (that's as high as we were comfortable with the pleco/catfish in there). All of the nitrate, nitrite, ammonia readings are well within the safe range. Our pH is 8.0. One oddity is that we've had a lot of free floating algae clouding up our water, about the same time this started. The fish doesn't seem bothered, but we sure do! The spots don't seem granular, as I'd expect ich to be...any suggestions?

Sorry again for the brief post...will answer any questions I can!

I can't get my molly to cooperate, nor my camera...it all ends up too fuzzy. Luckily, the other thread I posted didn't die, as I'd thought. Here it is: http://www.aquariacentral.com/forums/showthread.php?271033-White-spots-but-don-t-think-it-s-ich

This is my first case of ich, although, the tank is relatively new. We just got set up in December, so it's only been a couple months. We've now moved the affected fish to another aquarium, so I'll be removing the salt, bit by bit with water changes (actually had one today). I'll keep the temps in that tank up, just in case it is ich.
