Post GARLIC?

We have been trying something new.
Garlic in the aquarium, strange as it might seem it appears to work.
We have been using garlic powder and oil, mixed in with flaked food, also used garlic oil direct into the water to help fight disease.
If you want to try this, prepare a new container (52g) of food by placing a teaspoon (5ml)of powder in the new container, shake gently to spread throughout,leave for a few days to marinate, and then use twice a week.;D

Do not worry about the smell,it is a natural antiseptic and antibiotic, we have used it for fin rot, velvet and as a general preventative on new shipments of fish. 8)

MaleRubyBarb, do not use garlic salt,this contains anti caking agents as well as salt. 8)
