Garlic, serious discussion

[Beverly]

I had two fish with ich several months ago. They were the only fish in the tank. Fed them PE mysis soaked with loads of Garlic Xtreme and Kent Zoe. Once the ich cleared up, I removed them from that tank and left it fallow for six weeks. Continued feeding the same foods soaked in GE and Zoe in the quarantine tank.

No ich returned, but I strongly suspect it was because I removed the fish from the ich environment for 6 weeks. During the 6 weeks, the ich in the main tank went through their life cycle and when they had no fish to attach to, they died.

My thought about using garlic is that it can't hurt, but wouldn't use it as my cure for ich or any other parasite or disease.
