Answer 1

i think the first thing you have to do is test the water, check for ammonia and nitrite which can be deadly.stop feeding as this is not helping water conditions.do another partial water change but make sure the temp of the water to replace is the same as whats in the tank.don't and any more chemicals until you are sure whats the problem. as a last resort take the fish out of the tank and give the tank a good clean.

Answer 2

ich is very difficult to totally get rid of, no matter what chemicals you use.

some of your guppies might survive anyway.

check the tank temperature and make sure it is not too hot or cold. guppies can stand a large range, but they thrive in water that is 75 to 80F.

do not add any more fish to the tank until all deaths are over and your fish behave normally for at least a week.

if all of them die, it is time to sterilize and start over. drain it. wash or get rid of the gravel and any filter elements.

start over with feeder guppies cause they are cheap. if they thrive for about a month, you can start adding the fancier and more expensive fish.

Answer 3

maby the waters ph level is too high or too low.
