Is this Ich ? I got a bottle of Protozine whitespot & Fungus treatment I like to make sure I know what I am doing before I use it today.

That doesn't look like ich to me (I can't see any white spots). It looks like heavy scratching. Can you tell us more about what you are keeping the fish with, in what and general tank decorations (or post a pic of the tank).

Cheers,

Jools

That stocking list is more appropriate for a 110 gallon tank and even then there are issues, it is no wonder your Synodontis is getting scratched up, there will be stress and fighting going on because the fish have barely any room to move.

Thanks for your advice
Only one fish in the tank is big that's the Pleco which he shared fight from day one. Every other fish would probably fit in his mouth if he decided to eat them there is no stress and if there was I would move him straight away. I am also moving all small fish to a new home over the weekend. I will also get a bigger tank ASAP for the catfish and Pleco. This is only tempory
