Everyone knows chicken noodle soup doesn't cure anything. Yet a great number of mothers and wives feed it to their children to make them feel better when they have a cold. You need nourishment to fight off those nasty bugs. If noodle soup were to encourage my fish to eat I would feed them noodle soup. As it is...I feed garlic to encourage them to eat not to cure anything. I may be wasting my time and a few cents but I don't see how it can hurt.

For some reason, I have always had good success helping sick fish. A few that were even looking beyond help, that others brought over. I remember a baby regal Mike brought me, was so covered in ich and sick, we thought of putting it out of its misery.

I treated it in a small tank I had at the time and today he,s the king of a 180g, huge & fat, and 6 yrs. later. Just use most of whats posted here but like I said, "most all", together. I always drop the salinity a bit. I did use a copper based treatment and fed spirolina soaked in garlic and either selcon or vita-chem.

I have not used UV since the 80,s so cant really comment on them but know several lfs that use them for general treatment.

Still think the best advice is to buy healthy fish and give them a healthy home and ich seems to be a non thing.
