Iam not going to torture a fish with garlic hoping this snake oil cures it.The only known cure for ick is copper.If you grill you local pet store they will admit this even if they sell you these other snake oils.

My point was not in reference to garlic at all. I'm just saying that setting up an experiment to test your theory would be extremely challenging. The need to account for and control all the confounding variables would easily be your downfall.

It doesn't matter how long you've been in the hobby, or what some pet store employee says. You need to research for yourself, things need to be backed up with tested facts. If your only response to support for a product is your experience, or what someone else said, it doesn't inspire much belief in your claims.
