garlic powder?

[e048]

So I have a finicky fish that won't eat. I know garlic can get them to eat but I was wondering if garlic powder would work if I sprinkled it on the frozen mysis and put it in the tank.... anyone else know if this is safe or works? My LFS has garlic extract that's like $35 for a little 2oz bottle I don't want to pay that much!

yes ; your garlic powder should work just fine and be safe as well...you don't need a lot but you do need to let it soak for a bit....

I have a coral beauty that won't eat, he picks algae off the glass and rock but not mysis or brine, one of my clowns only eats flakes nothing else

Go to a health food store and get some garlic powder called "Kyolic." It works as well as the made-for-fish stuff at a tiny fraction of the price.

Is regular garlic powder say the Walmart brand work?

it works but the kyolic is much better.....
