It would help to know what the medication used was.

You've done everything right but you need to effectively change all of the water and/or add a lot of carbon to your filter to remove the medication. Depending on what the medication is you may also have knocked out your filter bacteria.

The only way that med would cause all your fish to be affected immediately would be if it had been overdosed or you have some other chemical or medication in the tank as well, do you? I know it sounds like a daft question but are you sure the tank is 100L? What are it's measurements and how much other stuff do you have in the tank suck as rocks, substrate, ornaments etc? What dose did you use?

Is deffinately a 100 llitres I added just less than the 20 ml mark on the measruing cup to 1pint of wArm tap water dissolved it well then poured poured it equally over the tank then it litterally was like an apocolypse. This morning some fish have significantly improved. But some still look seriously ill. Including the fish that had the bacterila problem in the first place is there anymore I can doit

Should I do another water change

I had exactly the same problem when I used that product! I contacted the manufacturers and they claimed that it was because I hadnt allowed the medication to fully dissolve (I thought I had) before adding it to the aquarium. Either way I dont trust it any more. I would reccommmend adding carbon to your filter ASAP, it should remove the meds very quickly and your fish should be bay to normal within a few hours. I used a combination of salt+pimafix+melafix and it cured all symptoms (just remember to have extra aerations when using meds)

Hope this helps

The dosage is about right, certainly not any significant overdose but did you remember to dechlorinate the tap water you added it to?
