I have always considered Methylene Blue too "gentle" to be effective against Ich.
With eggs and/or fry in the tank, I don't recommend any medication. Fortunately,
Rams can handle temperatures higher than those that promote Ich. I would
personally raise the temperature 2-3ºC higher, increase the air flow in the tank,
and change about 10-20% of the water daily. You should have no Ich by the end of
the week.
