For all of my fish I regularly mix in some Garlic Guard with their food. They are like frenzied sharks while eating.

Anyone else use it?

Have not used it but have read garlic does good things for fish.

Garlic is good!!

Garlic is great!!

it can convince fish that have never eaten vegies to take it up! Thats how i got my big male to start eating cucumber, covered it in garlic

never used the bottled stuff before but the minced stuff is great!

yep, that pretty much it. tho i rubbed it on and left it for about an hour so that the garlic goodness could soak into the cucumber. i did basically put a pile of it on top of the slice when i put it in the tank it all went everywhere but not to worry as the fish quickly found it and ate it, then set to work on the garlic cucumber

Has anyone any ideas to feed fresh garlic?

I have a few fresh cloves left over from a recent meal I cooked.

I might try just breaking in half etc and seeing? Does anyone know?

Crush it and rub it to whatever you want to feed the fish

I have always found all my Bristlenose, Pepper mint and clown pleco love the taste of cucumber and
peas soaked or rubbed with garlic

I didn't bother in the end. Both my pleco eat all cucumber peas etc all anyhow so I skipped it.

my pleco also eat cucumber and peas with out garlic,
though I do like to give them a treat once in a while....
must admit though, most of my pleco aren't too keen
on the peas any way....

good luck .... lj

Here's a tip about garlic, Once you crush it a chemical reaction happens.
When garlic is crushed or otherwise damaged, the alliin reacts with the enzyme allinase, also found naturally in garlic. Allinase acts as a catalyst and results in the transformation of alliin into allicin, this is when the pungent smell is constructed.
The tip is it takes 10 minutes for the reaction to happen...so after crushing wait 10 mins and it will be even more attractive to your fish..
Mine all love it...

just tried rubbing garlic on the veggies and my bns are all over it. its the first time they have eaten any veggies and they have got through half a lettice leaf in seconds thaks the the advice

Garlic as well as being an appetite stimulate is said to strengthen a fishes resistance to parasites, fungi, and bacteria.

This is interesting. My fish all love many different veggies but I will put some garlic on for a treat now. I wonder what other fish will think of it. I don't often put leafy veg in the big tank because it is shredded in minutes by the live-bearers.
