garlic and vitamins

[tatuaje08]

Does anybody treat their food with garlic or vitamins each feeding? I do it once in a while but not sure how often is enough, or too much.

garlic has been linked to liver issues. People use it, just make an informed choice.

The first 3 links didn't work for me. The 4th provided no scientific proof that I could find. I could have misssed it. I don't like wetwebmedia. Their style of posting conversations is something everyone else stopped doing in 1994. Very hard to read.

ah, try this one then.

Good read. Still not concrete proof garlic is bad for marine livestock.

I use selcon & garlic everyday on every PE Mysis or krill feeding - that's for all livestock in the temperate nano, my mixed reef, and my mantis shrimp. I use garlic purely for the perceived taste enhancement and not for any health benefit.

Agreed, but this is as close as we're likely to get in that research isn't likely to be significant, especially in orornamentals. At least IMO. At worst it speaks to caution in the continuous use of garlic.

Also thanks for the information! Since I was using the garlic for taste and my fish eat readily now, I think I will consider not purchasing garlic in the future and saving myself a little dough.

I'd suggest adding butter to the garlic. Reef scampi!!
