You won't be sorry, I had that for dinner. You also won't have any ich. I'm surprised that after so many years of doing this you haven't caught on to the garlic thing. I'll show you how to do it next time I'm over.
It's also good in butter on toasted bread.

Just different ways of feeding it. I mush it into mostly oil and soak it all up with some nori. Works for me, although I've only had ich twice.

And mostly I'm bugging Rob, 'cause he thinks we're all crazy

Nooooooo! I believe in garlic! But you know... it's not fun kissing fish with garlic breath.

Hmm, I use garlic, 2 outbreaks. You don't, 50 outbreaks. I'm not sure what to say to that....

IME - the best way to ensure you never get ick again is to better control your temperature fluctuations. The thermostats on your heaters are junk. - don't you just hate seeing them ON when you want the temp to go down??? With a proper temperature controller your fish are much less likely to get ick. Worth the money IMO.
