you may raise the temperature to about 80-82 degree to help flush the

I agree with Tedd on everything but this. Raising the temp will not
kill the ich - only speed-up its life cycle, making the fish even more
ill. It is sometimes recommended to raise the temp while using ich
medication to kill off each generation more quickly, but I think it's
a bad idea when you're not using medication.

If you want to kill it, you're looking at 85 deg F, but there is a
recorded case of Ich killing at 93 deg F.

See my recent post on r.a.f.goldfish quoting the paper from the
Aquaculture Center...
