10 gallon 4 platies and 2 cory cats. 2 of the platies have Ick, I bought Maracide and was wondering if the cory cats can handle it? I bumped the temp to 83.

Well, you don't need to use any meds to treat Ich successfully. The tank temp being at 82-84 for 2 weeks with daily water changes and cleaning the substrate weekly should clear it out. There is an herbal organic solution that helps them feel better called Ich-Attack, that's safe for corys. I could be wrong, but I think Maracide might be too harsh for them.
