Read the article at this link. In addition, use the search feature on the forum. Just type in ich and you will get many threads related to your problem. Be careful treating scaless fish. They can be very sensitive to medication. Many product labels recommend halving the dose. If you use carbon, with your filtration, remove it because it will reduce the effectiveness of the med.

Raising the temp is really important as well. 86F I believe. But that link is a really good one.
