What treatment can I use for my fish tank?

Recently one of my new guppies has developed what I believe is fin rot from another guppy nipping it. I think it may be developing onto ick as I see another fish with whiteish stuff on its skin as well as this one with the fin rot also has whiteish stuff on its skin. So I wanted to know if anyone knew of any medication I could use to try and cure them. It would be preferable that I can find it at a Petco or Petsmart. It also has to not harm any live plants or nerite snails because I have those in the fish tank as well. Thank you for your time!

    What do you want for nothing? A rudder biscuit?

    Just go to the pet store. They will have something there specifically for ick treatment.  Ick Guard, Ick Remover etc. 
    Normally you will need to turn off your filter system for a few days while treating.  So read the directions completely or you will loose your fish and waste your money as well.
