in my quarantine tank I had a balloon molly, one baby rl pleco and one adult bn all in a 5.5 gal (yes I know small but it’s temporary) anyways I noticed the molly has ich I just moved her to my other tank that currently has ich (longgg story) but I’m scared the plecos are going to get it and if so what should I do? Also the molly is currently pregnant since she’s sick will she loose her babies?
I have paragaurd,super ich cure and ich-ex

I can't tell if its ick, watch the dots, and if they multiply, then it probably is.
