Are you using Garlic but the white spots keep coming back? Have you given up because it didn't work? Have you been thinking of removing all the fish and QT'ing everything from now to eternity? The Ich Parasite can be very tough and if it doesn't kill the fish, can lead to secondary diseases which kill the fish. If you are having trouble with Ich, have had trouble in the past, or just want to complain about it, please comment here. Ah heck, everyone just say something. Big smile

I have ick start to show in 4 of my fish. Hippo tang (some white spots), heniochus butterfly (white spots fell off), yellow tang (starting to show symptoms) & Tomini tang (showing symptoms). I'm planing on using garlic with very feeding (freshly squeezed). It has work for me kn the past so I'm giving it another try.

How long does it take for your treatment to work?
After the Ich spots are gone, how often do you add the freshly squeezed garlic to their food?

Normally I do 2-3 weeks.
After the spots I do a week or so

I had Ich problems when I first started in the hobby.    I started using Brine Shrimp Direct's garlic flake food and have not had ich on any of my fish for just under 2 years now.    I am not saying that they will fix all your problems but I stopped having problems after I made that my main food.    My fish are fat...  Ok Very fat and happy.
