I swear by garlic also for ich outbreaks and was curiouse if using garlic all the time meaning steady daily use could lead to a build up of immunity in the parisite? Super ich. Like a kid who had to much antibiotics or meds type of thing and develops a super bug immune to typical antibiotics?

Glad your fish are better!!

I wouldn't give your fish garlic all the time. It's not good for their kidneys.

I swear by garlic too but at a rate of 1-2 cloves of really fresh, crunched garlic per 10 gallons floating in a mesh bag in the sump. Replaced every 3 days. People think I'm nuts but it seems to work for me.
