garlic powder?
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!

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.
