I could not in good conscious recommend sacrificing an entire echo-system for 3 fish. The fish only have a few spots, so I feel garlic is worth a shot, before jumping into dismantling the tank.
But, its up to you ichmag. Good luck!
Beth, I am very sorry if it sounded as though I did not trust your method. He thinks that he can get these fish out. I sincerely hope that he can. You do agree that garlic will not get rid of the parasite though right? I just don't want to see him quarantine all new fish and they end up with ich anyway. I completely understand why you recommended garlic. That is the best choice if the fish cannot be removed. I think if he can get them out if he fashions a divider.
