All fish can catch the ich. The Ich is probably the common fish disease, the ich refers to a ciliated protozoan of the genus Ichthyophthirius. Ich is present all the time in aquaria just waiting the "right" time to burst. The ich covers himself with tough outer shell, in this time he feeds on the fish body fluids.This stage known as theront is a visible stage and we can see it clearly on the fish body. Each theront appears as a very small white spot on the fish body, those white spots are what we called ich disease.

If one fish gets ick will all of the fish get ick?
Yes, all of the fish in the tank could get it. Even if only 1 fish in your tank has it, treat every fish to make sure the parasite gets off. I noticed one day that one of my little fishie friends had ick, the next day all of my guppies did, and 2 died. If you notice ick on your fish, treat it PRONTO! Or else you might lose a couple. :( :(
