Contaminated snail?

I recently got a leak in my 55g that I have been treating for ich that I was treating for a bad ich outbreak I got from 2 upside down catfish I bought off a new store.  I had to rush to set up a 100g acrylic was waiting to set up, after a about two days of string the left over gravel looking for my little “pest” snails, so I could throw them back into the 90, I wash the gravel out with hot water and got it 112 degrees in the water. I later started seeing a couple more snail in there moving around. I didn’t think they would take the temp but would I be safe moving them into my live breeder tank, where I’ve been wanting to breed them in there, without transferring ich ?

I don't think that invertebrate can be infected with ich. They will be affected by the medication though. Snails and shrimp seem to be immune to ich but if the medication could affect them. If you wanted to transfer them into a tank, I think it should be fine.
