why is garlic good for the fishes?

 

[capschamp]

found info from beth:
Garlic is a natural herb that can do a few things:
mild natural antibiotic qualities
repell ich
immune boast

 

[pontius]

It is also supposed to make them want to eat when they smell it.

So can I just use the garlic we get from the store, dip it in water, and after time passes dip frozen food in there for a couple minutes, then feed the fishes?
