Sick yellow lab

I think my one yellow lab might have ick. Its been hiding behind the sword leaves for the past week and today I noticed blotchy (not bright white, but a cloudy white) things hanging off around its head. Pics are super clear, sorry.





Is this ick or something else?

From what I've read, I should raise temp and start to add salt. I already keep the tank at 79/80, so I bumped the heater to 82. In the morning, I'll try 83/84 and then when I get home from work in the afternoon do a vac of the gravel/water change then start adding salt. 1 Tablespoon per 3/gallons of non-iodized table salt okay?


Just to add, the fish have been rubbing themselves up against the rocks more than I thought they should, but the its only the one lab right now that has the blothches.

Here's a couple of better pictures. You can see the stuff hangin off its face. What is it?

Well, from what I've read so far, salt can help w/ fungus, too. So I just did a ~25% water change, vac'd the gravel real good and added 2-2.5 tblsps of table salt. Turned the heater up a bit more, too. Tank temp is about 81/82 as measured from back bottom corner. At least the other 5 seem to be doing well.

Well, I went to bed last night and it was still alive, even seemed slightly better as it came out of hiding after adding the salt. But when I awoke at 6 this morning, belly up on the gravel. None of the other fish are showing any signs, but I'm going to keep the salt solution in and keep the temp up for a few days to be on the safe side.
