If this was your quarantine would you:
A: Keep feeding them and keeping them healthy. In 6-8 weeks if they are healthy and the ich has subsided(fish has became more healthy and the ich has faded-not left the tank or fish per-say) - move them to the display.
B: Treat with hyposalinity

Hmmmmm... I personally would just put them in the Display tank, but that is probably not what you want to hear. So I would go with option A.
