venustus Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 I was reading an interesting article "Garlic versus 'Marine Ich'"http://www.reefs.org/library/article/h_cortes-jorge.html One paragraph just struck me funny Still, what generates as much (if not more) speculation is not the ability of garlic to restrict damage, but rather garlic's apparent ability to deliver damage to the parasites themselves -with numerous claims of outright detachment of C. irritans trophonts (the burrowing protozoans) and tomonts (the "egg cysts") as a result. -Horge Cortes-Jorge Jr. And I had a flashback of the old horror films where someone holds up a clove of garlic and the vampire runs off cowering in the corner! :lol: OK, I'm bored at work :oops: and I think the heat is getting to me! :bounce: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 I have always thought that at least if you fed garlic to your fish you would have the added benefit of keeping vampires away :lol: (assuming you wanted to do this - no offence meant to Mystic vampyre ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
venustus Posted August 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 Yeah, but then you'll have fish with bad breath! :lol: Do they make "Tic Tac's" for fish? :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim&Dan Posted August 8, 2006 Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 I was reading an interesting article "Garlic versus 'Marine Ich'"http://www.reefs.org/library/article/h_cortes-jorge.html This is really interesting... Does anybody use garlic in freshwater tanks? Could it be fed to the fishies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
venustus Posted August 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 I tried it after reading the article, and they all ate just like they usually do. Haven't done it long enough to notice a difference. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
