I updated the Fish Nutrition article with a new index as well as a new section with information about color enhancer ingredients (inspired by Parker from Everything Aquatic Fish Forum )

We updated the Aquarium Fish Nutrition article with a new banner, and updates to the content.

Readers should find this article more readable than ever!

I have further updated the popular "Aquarium/Pond Fish Nutrition" article

Here is a quote from the article about Garlic:

I do not have good evidence of the benefit of Garlic for parasite prevention/treatment, however I do have good scientific evidence of the use of garlic for bacterial treatment (which may at least allow for a stronger immune system to aid in treatment of parasites).

Garlic contains the active (& proven) ingredient; Allicin, (a.k.a. Diallyl thiosulfinate)). Allicin is a broad-spectrum agent against both Gram Positive and Gram Negative bacteria, with more gram positive activity (which unfortunately most aquatic diseases are gram negative).
Fish Tuberculosis (Mycobacterium marinum) has been demonstrated to be effectively treated with Allicin. Some human studies show the effectiveness of Garlic (Allicin) in treatment Streptoccocus (which can affect fish).

Here is an excellent new article about fish nutrition:
http://goldfishfood.blogspot.com/2016/06/aap-custom-paradigm-fish-foods.html

Excerpt:
"AAP Custom & Paradigm Fish Foods Paradigm Fish foods is a brand that quickly established itself as a leader in quality of nutrition based on the quality of the ingredients, use of natural ingredients (unlike even most other so-called premium brands such as Northfin), results, and even the fact many fish fed this diet would no longer accept any other fish food later."

Here is an excellent new article from another website/blog about the history of fish food dehydration. Definitely worth a read.
