Feeding With Garlic

[cmsurfr22]

I heard that feeding your fish garlic helps in preventing diseases such as ich. I was wondering if anyone has ever done this and how they did it?

Feeding with garlic is a great thing for the fish. You can either mince it really small and toss it into the mix with the food, use a press and just use the "juice" from the garlic or you can use the OTC products.

I typically use the OTC.

I've been using Kent Garlic Extreme. Seemed pricey at first, but a bottle lasts a long time.

Ditto ;D

how often do you feed with garlic soaked food?

McCormack's garlic juice from your local supermarket, in the spice isle, is 1/3 the $ of Kent and will last 5x as long.

I feed once a week to my fish.

Thanks Matt, I'll check the McCormicks out if the Kent's ever runs out.

cmsurfr22, I use it everytime I target feed the corals, 1-2 times a week and when I just feed the fish frozen usually 2x a week.
