can i just buy a tube of chopped garlic and soak my food in that? or is it different. im trying to get my clown to eat but it seems to like nothing i give it

I use Kent garlic Xtreme. Just a few drops in a cup of tank water and soak food in that. I don't know about using minced garlic. Kent's is very, very strong (garlic odor) so I think it would be better to use. JMO.

Lol @ Emeril. Many use Selcon for vitamin supplementation and I believe it has appetite stimulants too, probably garlic, but not sure.

I usually just soak mine for 5-10 minutes or so. Dried seaweed soaked in Garlic Guard really makes my Serpent Star excited!

Minced from the grocery store works just fine.

what ever you do, do not sniff the bottle. It will mess you up for hours.

I soak for about 10 mins, frozen food, so it basically thaws in garlic extreme.

Helped me save a bluetang that was not eating. I swear by the stuff.

I prefer fresh garlic minced/chopped over the bottled brands at the lfs.

Oh no. Please buy the one at the LFS that cost about $15. It is designed to be used in the reef aquaria. You don't know what type of preservatives are in the grocery store bought garlic. Just playing. LOL! I make my own food for my tank. What I do is first throw in couple pieces of garlic in a blender and grind it up real good. Then throw in the rest of my ingredients.
