IMO the best use of "alternative" remedies in fish or in humans, is that it gives time for the infection to go away on its own, without introducing any toxic medications or chemicals. There is no plausible biologic mechanism for garlic to work, there are no controlled trials to say it works, and there is ample evidence that fish can fight off infections with good supportive care and proper diet. Just like the common cold, it will go away in 7 days with no treatment, or in a week if you take a cold remedy.
