If you feed your fish garlic due to a suspected parasite how many days
and how much garlic do you feed?

Make garlic a daily supplement and ich will remain under control.
Get a good quality pelleted food and wet it with liquid garlic.
Let it dry into the food and feed daily first when fish are hungriest

I haven't been able to find garlic oil, I need to check the health
food stores. I have had no trouble feeding it diced with thawed
brine shrimp.

Any health food store will sell garlic oil in a bottle with a dropper. Usually
it will cost about $5 or $6, and last a lifetime.

So 1 or 2 drops for each bubble of frozen brine shrimp? You know the
kind in the blister-type package frozen?

I normally feed it until it seem healthy. Or just continue feeding it.

Adira,

Have you got a garlic-press to squeeze a clove, as required ?

Nope. I just diced it into pieces the size of a grain of sand. The
fish ate it believe it or not. It was of course, mixed with brine
shrimp.

If you grind it to an almost paste you can make a paste and smear it
on your fish food as well. Bad thing is they may get fish breath :)
