How did you eating garlic cure ich in your tank??? :huh

Just kidding. I think that might have had something to do with them "pulling through" because they were well fed, and in return, able to resist secondary infection from the wounds caused by the parasite.

Opinions on the subject fly fast and furious, but I like to stick to the idea that ich is a parasite, and that it has a life cycle in which it goes through various stages. :o It burrows into the animals skin/gills, consumes what it needs, detaches ( hey, my fish is cured :roll ), creates a cyst in the tank bottom, :angry hatches into many new parasites, :( and is back on the prowl. h34r

Therefore, I would like some advise on how to best deal with it by increasing bioload. Blue or Gold Neon Gobies are an immediate choice, as is another cleaner shrimp, although I need advice on having multiple CSs in a 29 gallon BioCube.
