Temperature alone will not do it.
What do you mean 'water is good'? What are your actually readings?

I think nine times out of ten , ick appearing on the fish is purely stress related. the water isn't parasite/ bacteria free, so your tank readings would really help. As for heat , you will need to need doing water changes, specifically targeting the gravel ornaments and plants, in fish that need salt i have read that the infestation can go longer as they are a little tougher (the ick) and salt isn't much help. But i have found that it takes at least a week.
