Clown loach Ich

Hi, I purchased 2 clown loaches 2 days ago and placed them in my Q tank. One of them appears to have a couple small white spots on his body which i suspect to be ich. Just wondering what your suggestions would be for the best way to treat if this is the case. thanx

10 gal 0 amm / 0 nitrites / 15 nitrates / ph 7.2
2 Clown loaches
no live plants.

raise temp to about 86* F slowly...
a little big of aquarium salt or epsom salt would help too, about 1 T per 5 gallons for aquarium salt.
