[chesapeake]

I have been reading alot about using Garlic to treat fish? what kind of garlic and where can i get it any brands?

I use Kent's product.

you can buy stuff at the gorcery store that's about a quarter the price. Kent's is over priced grocery store garlic. Need to find the liquid garlic, which can be tough sometimes.

garlic cloves?

garlic cloves?

Is it safe to use garlic cloves cut small enough for fish to consume? Will this adversely effect fish health or water quality? Or should we look to find a solution from the lfs or grocery?

Garlic is only useful if the fish consume it. Having it in the water only messes with water quality. And I don't believe it has the medicinal effects most claim. I would say it stimulates appetite, may have some immunity boosting quality but to say it kills ich or cures fish of ich. It may be coinsidence.

I use a garlic press, then mix it up with the food in the blender. I read somewhere that the products sold in the lfs are missing valuable components.
