Smashed pleco

Garlic is already used in the ornamental fish industry. It's used in food/medicated food to induce feeding. The garlic for some reason makes fish hungry and eat.

Yes, I had read it was used in food and the water as an anti-oxident and anti-microbial for treating Ich and Velvet.

Update:
This morning I found Pills in a different spot in the tank, so I assume she went out eating maybe .... looking good!

Very good. I hope she is feeling better Dr. Jexnell.

Smelling Garlic makes me hungry and entices me to eat as well.

Glad to hear she’s doing well Doc.

Update:

I found Pills out foraging for food a few times now. Also skin/scales what ever had regrown over the exposed dorsal spines. I have not seen her belly since I put her in the 46bowfront. So not sure how it's doing, but she had good color still and in a different spot in the tank every time I check in on her.

I am so glad. I hadn't enquired earlier in case things had not gone well and rebring up sad feelings.
So happy she is doing goodly. I have enjoyed our conversations. I hope you have nice Holidays, and I have the pleasure of speaking again with you under less distressing circumstances. I am getting some new fish, not sure what but I want something beautiful or unusual like zebra plecos. Rather expensive.
