I soak my flake and frozen food in it for about 20 minutes before I feed. That way the food has plenty of time to soak it up.

You mix the garlic in a cup with some tank water and then mix the food in there.

Cheap alternative?! Just buy garlic extract from local grocery store or powdered garlic. This mixture works miracles!

Cheers!

I do have a quarantine tank, but catching that fish is almost impossible....he's small, so he can hide/swim between the rocks..just a baby blue tang...
