andrew.vid Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 hi all, i have heard that feeding garlic to the cichlids are a great benefit, no? if it is how do i feed it to them? do i just pop a few cloves in and let them much away? or blend it, chop it, grind it etc. also would it have to be mixed with other types of food? some advice appreciated.

noxious_nasties Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 One method is to cut it up finely and add some water to soak food in with. It has antiparasitic properties which is why I think it is good for fish. Cheers, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Priscacara Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Marc posted up a link to 1 of his youtube vids about making up food and it includes garlic. Like all his vids I got some good info from watching it. http://www.aceforums.com.au/index.php?showtopic=51356 is the thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattrox Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Garlic also makes fish food more palatable to fish.... Makes it smell like it should be eaten. It has been used to encouage finicky fish to eat. I read that in The Text Book of Fish Health Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
