Short answer is YES. Long answer is:
Although the other fish may not show symptoms, ich has spread in your tank in one stage or another; it's a parasitic invertebrate. Basically this means that if the other fish don't have it now, they will at some point. Most people will recommend that you QT all the fish, hypo the QT, and leave the display fish-less for 6 weeks. That's the best solution, and most other methods of treating ich are only short term. This will permanently kill the parasite if done right.
Hope that helps.
