garlic vs ich?

[raulruiz912]

if you mix garlic with dry food will it help with ich?

Ive heard it can help, but I've been told the only two proven methods to get rid of ICK is a copper treatment or hyposalnity.. neither you want to do in your Main tank if you have corals and or Invertibra.

The garlic will help the immune system of the fish, but it will not solve the Ich problem.

Cypto-Pro (quinine sulfate) from National Fish Pharmaceuticals (http://www.fishyfarmacy.com) worked for me when copper and hyposalinity didn't. Don't use in reef tanks.

Garlic is also questionable for it's long term use in fish.

It may help, but it will not cure.

I've not heard that one before. I wonder why a number of major food manufactures, (Spectrum, Omega One ect) would be adding it to their food?
