Hey there guys I’m new to aquariums I’ve been doing good but lately my plecos have been dying off one by one and when I see the bodies there are little white spots all over I looked it up and found out about ick and now my dwarf powder blue gouramis are starting to have white spots can anyone confirm?

Most likely it is Ich. Do a large water change using dechlorinated water. Gradually raise the tank temp to 86 degrees and leave it there for two weeks. Use a syphon hose to vacuum the substrate every day and add dechlorinated water to replace water syphoned out. Hopefully you can save the remaining fish.
 
Thank you appreciate it will get on that right away hopefully I’m I’ll be able to save them and hopefully no other fish get it!
 
Test the water for ammonia, nitrite, nitrate and pH. It could be excess mucous caused by poor water quality. Big daily water changes should fix the problem if it's water quality related.

Post pictures of the remaining fish so we can check them for disease to try and work out why they are dying.
