garlic?

[sea worthy]

Can someone please tell me the advantage of feeding garlic to fish?

 

[n_sarno]

It helps strengthen their immune system so they can fight off ich and things like that

can you use the juice from real cloves?

 

[nm reef]

It can boost immune systems and stimulate appitite...and yes....fresh cloves can be used. I take a slice ...crush it....soak it for a while in a bit of tank water...then use the juice to soak food.

Do you use this at every feeding or just once a day?

 

[killafins]

i always did it every few days to once a week.

 

[slayer]

how long do you soak it for??

 

[killafins]

5 to ten minutes? i'd do it while watching tv during one commercial put it in during the next dump it. u just gotta remember all the garlic is going into ur tank water, it's not all going to be in the food itself so be conservative.
