Ick with fry

HI guys, I've just succefully had my first 5 guppy fry born 3 days ago, they are thriving and doing well after much research.

I've noticed since adding some new additions 2 weeks ago, it looks like I have the beginnings of white spot. I've read that it's not advisable to treat ick while I have fry. I don't see any signs on the fry. Mainly on my kribensis and early sign on the tetras.

I don't want to lose my fry but at the same time don't want to have an outbreak of ick. Any advice would be appreciated
Gary

My tank sits at 30 degrees (86) constantly as it is, due to it being drafty where it currently sits. :-/

I would definitely lower it. Those fish should not be in that high of a temp for extended periods of time. And if you're getting ich with the temp that high, I'd treat with chemicals.
