Possible Whitespot (ICH)

[Jae1525]

I have had 2 Dwarf gourami for a week now and I noticed some tiny white spots just 3 or 4 on their dorsal fins and a couple on their side fins! They were fully held in the fish store for a week prior to me buying them so I presumed they were ok as they had no sign of disease when I bought them.
Even though I have kept fish for a while I have been fortunate not to have had any dissease yet... until now I think!

My 4 main problems are...

1: I have no quarenteen tank!!!
2: I have 6 inverts (5 Amano shrimp and one Mountain Shrimp)
Obviously this meens copper based medication is out of the window as it is fatal to inverts!
3: I have 3 pepered cory cats so I believe it is not appropriate to raise the salinity levels or indeed have any salt in my aquarium at all! Also the non-copper based ich treatment can be harmfull to catfish if they are exposed for long periods of time!
4: My tank is planted and turning up the heat would kill the plants!
(not that I care about the plants but the gourami love them!)

Please Jim, can u fix it for me to have a dissease free tank?

I know its a tricky one but anything would help.

I guess if the spots are on the fish they will drop off soon and send thousands of evil ich babies to atack my other fish.

I gotta catch them when they are vulnerable of the breeding cycle will go around again!
