Freshwater noob, is this Ich?

[Houdini5150]

Couple of my mollies died suddenly and my rubber mouth pleco died this morning. I see this guy in the tank. White spots? Is that ich?

Can’t make it out in the pic. Do they look like little salt granules?

Do the white spots/patches appear at all fuzzy or furry? It could be a fungal infection. Not sure what kind though.

Hmm, first pic does look like ich, second pic looks like something else, Columnaris or a fungus. Not sure what to advise since you’ve already lost several fish. Since it’s urgent, I’d recommend aquarium salt, 1tsp per gallon, immediately, to start with.

If someone at Fishlore can confirm the diagnosis you can also either turn up the heat (for ich) or turn down the heat (Columnaris). It can be confusing! Hope someone else is able to be of more help!
