im currently starting to see signs of ich in my 10 gallon planted tank. ive put the temp to 82. its moderately planted so i cant go big on the meds. would it be alright if i add some salt? im worried about my german ram being sensitive. also theres platies,khuli loaches,bushy nose pleco,SAE in the tank. any problems there? also how much aquarium salt should i add to the 10 gallon? will salt + 82* temp get rid of the ich or do i need to add meds.? there's just a sign of ich, no seroius outbreak.thanks

The only time I ever had ich, all I did was raise the temp and add one tablespoon of aquarium salt per 5 gallons. That should do the trick!
As far as your individual fish are concerned, the ram, bushy nose pleco and platy should be fine. The other fish you listed are ones I don't personally have experience with so maybe someone else could help you there.
