Garlic Feeding

[CharlieTuna]

I have never used the garlic method when feeding my fish, will it really help my fish out? Anyone else use this method? My yellow tang is starting to rub against the rocks once in a while. No white spots though?:fish2:

Welcome to RC!
You can read about garlic feeding here till the cows come home -- Boiled down, I think most regard it as a proven feeding attractant and a possible help for ICH/parasites. I gather that there hasn't been much true scientific research into garlic as an ICH cure, but there is a good body of antecdotal and inferential evidence to suggest that it could be.
BTW, I've been adding one drop of garlic extract to my Royal Gramma's food every feeding since he came down with ICH about a month ago. He is much better, but still scratching. I'm planning to move him to a QT to treat him (IF I can catch him :rolleye1: )
HTH,
