ICH!!!!!

[Enigma]

Your six line should be fine in your aquarium. Nano Reef has stocking guidelines and, while they may be considered controversial by non-nano reefers, they are what I follow for my tanks (I consider my 40B a nano), though I've got one fish in there that would get me lynched by them.

Understand that when they indicate that a six line can be housed in a 10 gallon, it is the only fish in there. I think they recommend four fish at the maximum for a 20 gallon.

Garlic does seem to be a popular display system treatment, and despite the lack of scientific evidence that it works, there is a huge amount of anecdotal evidence that it does.

I was a non-believer then I got ich in my display(only time I introduced a fish without quarantine), was told to use garlic, was skepticle but tried it anyway and it WORKED, had zero losses and ich never returned.

This is what I was looking for: someone with ich in the tank but doesn't get it :P

So what should I do is make garlic paste and put it directly into the tank? Like the paste itself? And what about water change?

I whipped up a few cloves of fresh garlic and sqeezed it thru a coffee filter to axtract the juice, added about a tsp of it to the tank, soak the food in it when feeding, did that every day for a few days then just soak the food.
I now add a couple drops of kent garlic extreme to the food every day.

OH! and time is of the essence, git r done

Great! Thanks

Mixed mysis shrimp with garlic paste and the fishes went nuts (well my fishes always get nuts with whatever they can eat :P). Wrasse actually started munching on the garlic particles itself!!!!! Even stole the piece of meat that was given to the torch. Poor torch

Hope the garlic treatment will work I love my wrasse!

Garlic works great for ick even though there is those that reside near the east coast that claim it is bogus. Kent Garlic Extreme is a great product and every meal I feed my fish is soaked in it. Theres also been debates that it is hard on the fishes livers but i've been feeding garlic for years and have'nt heard nor seen any complaints from my fish. But i'm no fish whisperer. IMO trying to catch a fish that is infected with ick causes more stress than anything and the ick gets worse. I'm sure a certain bullheaded member will be quoting this post but there is alot of people that swear that garlic works and I am one of them. I love the ignore user list. I'm sure i'm on a few members list too. HAHA
