It stimulates their appetite. Just like us, when we are feeling sick, we don't want to eat. It helps them eat in the early stages of ich.

Ich goes through a life cycle where they are sometimes on the fish and sometimes are not. While I like Garlic Extreme, that did not make your ich go away.

I use garlic with my homemade food. I use a lot of fresh seafood, also some freezedried cyclopese and soak it in garlic/selcon for a day before mixing the food. I also add some more to the food processor when I am chopping up everything else, fish go nuts for it and I think it helps ward off infection.

I'm a firm believer in garlic for sick fish for the simple appetite reason
