Making garlic tea for goldfish
Garlic (Allium sativum), is loaded with medicinal properties, including antibacterial, anti-fungal, anti-viral and anti-parasite properties. Garlic as been used in aquariums for quite some time for the treatment and prevention of fish parasites. Several studies have supported its use for this purpose, claiming the ability to kill parasites and offering immune support to control and prevent them. This study adds another parasite to the list of those vulnerable to the effects of garlic, skin flukes (Neobenedenia sp).
The results of this study reinforce the growing view that dietary supplementation of garlic extract is beneficial to fish health by conferring protection against pathogens. Feeding garlic extract to L. calcarifer for a period of 30 days significantly reduced infection prevalence (36 – 50% less) and intensity (50% less) in fish challenged with Neobenedenia sp. Both garlic diets conferred similar degrees of resistance to Neobenedenia sp. and fall within the range of garlic concentrations (0.5 – 30 g) shown to effectively prevent bacteria associated mortalities in cultured fishes.
The premise of garlic’s mode of action in preventing pathogens in fishes is not well understood. However, both crude garlic and pure allicin extract dietary supplements have been shown to enhance the teleost immune system by conferring direct antimicrobial activity to serum, increasing the number of leucocytes and by increasing phagocytic, lysozyme, and anti-protease activities. Of these immunoregulatory responses to garlic, lysozyme activity, a component of teleost mucus, has specifically been associated with innate immunity to monogeneans.
