Is their a supplement? Some reason I see me in the kitchen cutting slim slivers with a razor blade Goodfellas style, and dropping it in the little container I am thawing tank frozen cube in tank water.
How is garlic generally introduced to fish?

There are several garlic supplements on the market. Dry foods are often soaked in it.
Garlic may be useful in getting new fish to eat. But it has no efficacy for control or cure of disease. Recent information suggests it could even be harmful over the long term. I'd skip it and save your cloves for spaghetti sauce

Haha! Some people will crush fresh garlic and soak it in water. Then separate the water from the solids and add a couple drops to foods that don't already contain it. I added some fresh garlic to mysis and my fish went crazy for it.

I would only use it to get new and/or difficult fish to eat. only add a drop or two to the tank water. When soaking it in food, the fish will probably get a more concentrate amount, and long term may do more harm than good. It has been said that it will harm the fishes liver.
I juiced my own, and only added two drop to 30 gallons of tank water to stimulate new anthias I put in quarantine qnd it did work. I only needed to employ it like 3 days in a row.

So garlic is like jack daniels for fish and that's why they like it but it's also bad for the liver?

Yup
But if your feeling culinarily inclined... Culturing worms is super easy and one of the best things you can do for your fish!
White worms are like maggots, you keep them in a Tupperware with dirt and add bread or crackers on occasion. Black worms are even better, but you need to set up a little bucket with water flow. Either one can have selcon dripped on their food, basically loading the worms up with fish vitamins.
The fish go booonkers, and it's really healthy for them. You can sing them an opera while you feed the worms to make it more gangtsa. I like "e lucevan le stelle" from Tosca personally.
