I am new today to this site so hello to all:)

I have a 115 litre tank,that is home to my fantails.
I am pretty new to fish keeping so when they started
Showing not too happy signs,i looked up their symptoms
And realised their probs sounded very much like ich.

I have now treated the tank with medication,however two
Weeks later they are still flicking themselves against
Things.
Is this ich??

could this be anything else im missing??

Any help and advice would be very appreciated.

Hi! How many fancies do you have? Is this tank newly setup? Do you have a good liquid test such as API for testing your levels of ammonia, nitrite, nitrate & ph? What exactly are these numbers? What did you use to treat what you believed was ich? A lot of ich meds are effective against a variety of parasites. This does not necessarily rule out flukes though. A water quality
Issue is also very possible- unstable or extreme ph levels as well as high levels of ammonia and/or nitrite cause also cause irritation and flashing. Some more information will help!
