That's a no go I don't have a hospital tank to put her in if there is any way to treat her in my tank that how I will have to do it!! I don't want to loose her r my tank I had a cleaner shrimp but the fish ate him. I kno these fish prob get this in the wild so what would be the best way to over come this

You have to get her in hospital tank , treating in display is not an option.
Trust me on this I did my research on this there is no magic bullet. All fish have to go in hospital tank, treat with copper or hyposalinity.
Display can't have fish in it for at least 8 weeks, Ich is like fleas you have to break the cycle . There can not be a host for them in display.
If you contact me I will help you with a hospital tank setup. I live in Flowood hope your close.
Treat only the hospital tank, display without fish.

Maybe , but if it is Ich it fell off to multiply in sandbed, when they return there will be enough to kill when they reinfest.
They will hatch and enter the water column and burrow back into the fish and start another cycle.

Fish can live with ich.. keep water stable and feed variety of food, and IMHO garlic does nothing to help, its more of a marketing scheme..
