I'll say this for any type of garlic added to the food, when I feed my tank at least my wife says "uh.. garlic" instead of "EEeyyoouugHH... Fish Stink!!!"

Why is that some claim success using kyolic while others say it doesn't work you should use the oil extracts? Maybe both work? |
All I know is my new Niger trigger was getting cloudy eyes, and I started soaking Krill in Kyolic for him to eat, and three days later, no more Parasites. I even "injected" some Kyolic into a few dead mollies with a needle syringe to feed to my lions, and the lions both look very healthy (after surviving tank cycling with live rock and sand.) Incidentally, I re-built my Refugium and sump last week, and I think moving all the Fuge sand from the old tank to the new tank caused a small Ammonia spike. A few of my fish were starting to get ich (Which hasn't presented itself in over a year in this tank) and I resumed feeding frozen, prepared food that had been soaked and frozen in Kyolic, and now only a few days later, they're all better. Now who can argue that kind of success. Before I started using Kyolic, I would lose at least one fish to Ich when it broke, but now whenever I change something on my tank, or add a new fish, I begin my regular regimen of feeding "Kyolic Enriched" foods, and it works every time. I'm sold for life!

Well, it wasn't an overnight thing, but my tang is starting to look better on the kyolic "ice cubes". Seems to work for me!

I agree, using garlic seems to be revolutionizing the hobby, at least in the WMAS circle.
We no longer have accept the statistical loss of every third new fish we add to our aquarium!

Take a look at the ingredients on your garlic oil. I've never found one that listed garlic extract (or oil) as the first ingredient. They are mostly vegatable oil with a small amount of garlic oil (diallyl sulfides) mixed in. If anyone knows where to find an oil that is mostly garlic please tell. |
FYI - The Kent Garlic Xtreme label states that it contains "99% Allium Sativum Extract [garlic juice]." That stuff is so strong that I only use a drop or two.
