Garlic Flakes

[happyface888]

Ok I bought some New life spectrum with Garlic added in it. I want to help my fish build up their immune system to fight off ich, but I noticed that they'd eat it than spit it back out. If they spit it back out are they eatting any of it or none? the flakes are pretty big. I tried fresh diced garlics and they dont eat it. any idea why my fish dont like garlic or do they have to get use to the taste and eventually eat it? This is the first time I used flakes with garlic in it.

I use garlic extreme by Kent. I soak frozen brine shrimp in it, my fish love it.

The whole idea behind garlic is to stimulate appetite and perhaps enhance the nutritional content of food .. if your fish don't like it then your defeating the purpose.

You can try soaking your food in selcon or liquid garlic. I prefer selcon because its not going to make your tank smell which can be a side effect of liquid garlic.
