Is this the right kind of garlic?

The garlic is good to keep healthy fish healthy, but it is not a cure for ich. Here is a link to what is the best treatment for ich. In my opinion, it is the only proven safe cure. Copper will sometimes cure it, and some of the meds are successfull 10% of the time, but copper is very hard on fish, and will kill any inverts. If you set up a quarantine tank and treat with hyposalinity, you can most likely save your fish.
