    My african tank is not doing well. I lost 2 fish today,I'm not sure what is going on. They are all like wagging back and forth and flashing. I don't see any visible sign of Ich but treated the tank anyway. Can anyone help me on this? Thanks for any info you can give... Curtis...

    You also want to make sure it is ich before you treat for it. The medication you use to treat ich will weaken the fish so you want to make sure that is what it is before you treat for it...

    Just an update, I treated for Ich and added aquarium salt. Now all of my tanks are happy and healthy.
