Dear Woody,
i use Mysis/ Brine
how do u soak your food with garlic?
i've actually never done it myself.
But lots of ppl put it in fish food. Fish love the smell/taste of garlic so it gets them to eat.
Garlic also, supposedly boosts immune system and helps fish heal faster and stuff. That's debatable. I have no opinion on the matter, because like I said, I've never tried it.
As for feeding, I THINK what you do is mince up some fresh garlic real small. Then try and squeeze the juice out. Place some frozen food in a cup, add a very little bit of tank water, and add some garlic juice. IDK how much, but I'd say about 3-4 drops per 1/4 cube (just a guess).
Then let the cup w/ food and garlic sit in fridge for a while so the garlic can soak in, 30-60 mins should be good.
Then feed. I like to feed a little bit of food, wait for them to eat it all, then feed a little more and keep going till all food is gone. That way, not too much goes to waste.
