garlic- Preventive or medicine?

[cldburton]

I have read many posts on garlic and the benefits of garlic. How many if any of you use garlic as a preventive and how often do you use it? Also, how do you feed your fish the garlic? There seems to be quite a bit of discussion on the right kind and way to feed garlic.
thanks!

You soak the food in garlic juice. Garlic works to improve your fish's immune system and repel parasites.

So do you use it as a preventive?? I hear alot of talk about it being used as treatment but wasn't sure about preventive.

I second that. Its not a treatment but rather a preventative. Also it help with the immune system.

I use garlic daily, 1 drop on their food because they like it and it is supposed to be a benefit for their health. Not for a cure for ich. First sign of ich they go to the QT tank for hypo.
