What is the best way to treat it? Best medication? Also, do I need to remove the carbon filter while treating?

"My catfish has ich" is a statement, not a question.

Your treatment really depends on what type of catfish you have. Some catfishes have scales and some do not and you treat those groups differently. If you aren't sure which your fish falls into, either post a question with a good description of the fish or a link to a photo of the fish, or ask at your local pet shop.
Once you know if your catfish is scaleless or not you can buy the correct type of ich treatment, just read carefully and follow the directions carefully to avoid problems.
Removing the carbon from the filter is usually needed so that the carbon will not remove the medication from the water.
If I can help further, feel free to email me.

You can get medication specifically for scaleless fish,that would be best for catfish.Yes you need to remove the carbon or it will remove your medication.

Easy to rid. Any pet store will sell a bottle of cure. A few drops a few days is usually all it takes. I know know if it's necessary but I'd clean the filter anyway.
