This is just personal technique, but in addition to raising the temperature, I do many small water changes. The emphasis, however, is not on sucking out the water, it's on vacuuming the gravel well. It removes the ich "eggs" developing on the gravel. It is not essential, just as adding salt isn't really that big (I just leave temp up at 86-88), but I have noticed a recovery time of 3-5 less days.

no problem. A good technique I learned from the former juantamad was to always keep baby pbass in warm water. His were continuously in 86-87F water. Since they are suceptible to ich, this pretty much prevented ich, and kept their metabolism high (therefore more eating, and more eating is more growing). He raised some great specimens
