you can buy garlic extract from your local grocery store and wont have to pay nearly as much and in the LFS. I use a mix of flakes and shrimp soaked in garlic, then frozen into cubes. They love it....

very helpful. I did this and overnight . . . the ich was gone. my fish is eating where she was not earlier.

What I use is the Kent Garlic Extreme, about 15 bucks from LFS.


drop a bunch of drops on it and let it soak in and dry,

then put in the tank on a seaweed clip.

You can get nori at an oriental type grocery store or at the LFS or online

at a fish store they will call it seaweed or algae though.

I use the garlic extract and it has worked great. Add it to frozen foods or the sheet algea before you place it in the clip(spread it all over and let it dry a few min first).

they're eating great, so i take that as a good sign. been doubling up on feedings just to try to get them through this. they look very healthy otherwise. so cross your fingers for them, thanks for the replies.

I swear by garlic. Great immune system booster.
