I am in the camp of people who think garlic does nothing to ick. The only time I use garlic is when I want to get new fish to eat prepared food by soaking the food in garlic juice.

Sounds weird.. we don't give high dose of garlic to our fish and the little that goes in the water probably disperse and is not that much taken by the fish. If we eat a little salt it's good, at least it taste good, but if we eat too much of it we could die, so not sure if this is really a concern about a little garlic in the food? It would probably be more interesting to see if giving garlic to fish the way we do it is still affecting the liver.

"the damage of garlic on both liver and kidney in this work may be attributed to the relative high dose of garlic used."
