Literally speaking, टाँय टाँय फिश means prattling, a sequence of hoarse sounds. But this is generally used in a symbolic sense. This expression may be translated in a number of ways depending on context. For example, if we were expecting a keen or tough match between two powerful teams and finally the same proves as a one sided match, we may say in such situation - Sub Kuchh taayen taayen phish ho gaya. Here it may be translated as \'much ado about nothing\'. There is another connotation of this phrase. If a person works very hard to achieve something but he just does not succeed, we may say in such case-Usne koshish to bahut ki, lekin nateeja taayen taayen phish raha i.e. He tried his best but all his efforts ENDED IN SMOKE. And in your text it conveys the destruction of dandruff. Hence the above suggestion.
