![]() Sounds weird.. we don't give high dose of garlic to our fish and the little that goes in the water probably disperse and is not that much taken by the fish. If we eat a little salt it's good, at least it taste good, but if we eat too much of it we could die, so not sure if this is really a concern about a little garlic in the food? It would probably be more interesting to see if giving garlic to fish the way we do it is still affecting the liver.
"the damage of garlic on both liver and kidney in this work may be attributed to the relative high dose of garlic used." Last edited by daniella3d; 12-21-2010 at 04:27 AM. |

![]() I've always used it to keep the vampire fish out of my tank. It does other stuff too? I was starting to think i'd been scammed like my Monster-B-Gone closet spray. :P

![]() well that's the point. there is no study on that one, only on high dosage.
If you drink a little wine each day it's good for your hearth but if you drink the whole bottle in 5 minutes you'd probably be very sick if not worse. Even water can kill you if you have too much of it too quickly. Is there such thing as a long term study of garlic on fish liver? with normal small dose that a fish might eat when eating the food. We don't even know how much the fish actualy swollow, maybe near to nothing once it is diluted in the water. Obviously if people have success treating ich with this, it must be doing something beneficial to the fish. I would not say give them 3 garlic a day but here and there in the food, must be near to nothing. I don,t see the point of giving that to the fish constantly, but in case of ich or when a fish lack appetite, then if it works, it works in a good way. I don't have ich as I do strict quarantine with hyposalinity but if I would have problem with that I would probably give my fish a little bit of garlic. I did at the begining to entice appetite and to help the fish that I bought get over the ich with hyposalinity. I think it's not so much the garlic that helped for the ich but the hypo treatment, but at least it gave the fish great appetite! So if a fish die for no apparent reason it is because of garlic? what are you saying here? sorry but I don't buy that. A fish that die for no reason is probably wild cought with cyanide much more than diying from garlic. I beleive that dammage liver much more, as well as copper treatment. You don't have to get drunk each day but if you only drink a glass of wine each day you will not get liver dammage from that. French people do it all the time and they don't die from liver dammage more than us. My neighbourgs are French and they drink wine each day, just a little glass at diner time. The man is 89 now and very healthy, the wife is 79 and she is also very healthy. wow...they should be dead from liver dammage! Last edited by daniella3d; 12-21-2010 at 07:01 PM. |
