^ is correct. Garlic only acts as an appetite stimulator...It has no effect on the ich itself. Normally speaking, a fish that is healthy can fight off ich on its own which is why I say its normal to have a few spots of ich on fish once in awhile. Its when they overtake the fish (while the fish is stressed) that you should remove the infected or quarantine.
If your Pj's survive, then that just means your fish was able to fight off the ich through its own immune system.
