Re: garlic

Hey sacred,

Garlic does have a few benifits....IME it is very handy for getting picky fish to eat different foods, but it also can help prevent an maybe even treat internal infections and parasites.

I generally "lace" food with garlic once a week for my FW fish by using this product, or something similar:
