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. :( :(

What should you do if your goldfish has Ick?
Fungus/infection is your worst enemy when a fish has a cut. Make sure the water that the fish is in is clean and regularly changed. I would get a fungus preventative (available at most good pet shops) and follow the directions on the bottle/packet.

Why are there Red spots on goldfish head?
If they weren't always there it is probably ICK. You need to go to a pet store and get a treatment to put in the water. It will spread to all of the fish and it can be deadly. You will need to empty the aquarium, clean it, and treat the fresh water. Good luck because once it gets so bad it is almost impossible to get rid of it. The white bumps are an indicator of ick (Ichthyophthirius multifilis) but the red bumps are usually the first sign of a bacterial infection that is known to cause ulcers to form. You may need to treat for both simultaneously if you want to save the fish. An easy way to do this is to feed the fish an antibacterial food while treating for ick with copper or formalin (or whatever you choose) this is usually one of the safest ways to double up medications without running the risk of overdosing. I have found that in treating fish for any type of parasites (including ick) it helps to raise the tanks salt concentration to 0.3%, and when treating ick specifically its also recommended to raise the tanks temperature to about 80 F (26.67 C), this speeds up the parasites life cycle and causes them to die faster.

I feed my fish the flakes but they arent interested in them at all and dont eat them what should I do is that normal?
That is perfectly normal for the most part. If you have more than one fish in the tank, the other fish may be inclined to take the food before the other fish gets to it. If the eating disorder continues you should try to feed the fish separately. Comment and tell me how it worked.
