Ok, i got 3 guppies the other day and now thet all have ich, all the others had it to but it is good now, exept for the guppies, i am treating them with coppersafe. I think it is the rocks in my tank that are causing it. They are from my backyard, and have been washed several times but still. so what is wrong and what can i do to fix it?
 
Use anti-ich by Rids company! its really great! Will help u a lot! and ask ur pet store for more medicines! :)
 
A rock from outside will probably not introduce a fish parasite to your fish. Ich isn't that big of a deal. If you have no plants or invertebrates, just throw in some copper based meddication, and you're fine. If you do have plants or inverts, get some organic medication like "kick-ich" that contains no copper.
 
The best type of medication to treat ich is one that contains malachite green, but be careful, it can stain deco and the silicon.

My personal favorite way to treat ich is to slowly raise the temperature to 82-84 degrees, and add aquarium salt, usually 1 tsp for every gallon if treating for disease. I have gotten rid of ich several times this way, and it stresses fish out alot less than using medications.
