Fish lice eggs or ick? - Update, he died

hello everyone! newbie here
recently I got myself a black moor and I saw a lice hanging on to him, quickly I took it off and after a few days I notice some white specs going on on his body. I change him to his quarantine tank and use some General Aid and salt for the time being . I must say it is my fault as well because I immediately place him in an established tank after acclimating , I supposed to quarantine him first!

He is being himself still, eating , pooping and swimming.No signs of himself scratching or flashing against the wall. Today after I change the water I notice that the white specs only shows up on specific parts of his body like the back tail, his sides and mostly at the back.

is it possible for an ich to behave this way? should I continue treating him with general aid and salt or change to antI lice medications.

I will try to insert a video if I can. he's in his quarantine tank for the 3rd day starting today

thank you

What is his tank size? Is the tank cycled?

I wish I could but I already took it out the first time I saw it. it's green-ish and I can see some small legs going about. there's only one of it on his head

he's in a 10 gallon planted tank that's been cycled for about 2 months now.

update : it's ich and I've been continuing some meds on him. I can't place a heater in as the temperature is already at its max for him .

update : I took a closer look at him and it almost look like the ich is running around all over him. I can see them move instead of staying still like they have little legs? I thought ich are like,,,spores or white dots that appears in a fish body.
his scales are raised and even though he's eating, but hes very lethargic

he died.

I found him in the morning while I wanted to do a water change. I don't know whether its the garlic cloves I started to add or the slight raise in temperature. I feel devastated and stupid.

I'll let his supposedly 'new' tank without any fish for now. only plants and snails.
