    You get garlic extract its a liquid. Then just add a couple drops to your food. You can add it to flakes and pellets too. It can entice fish to eat and keep them eating when they have Ick or other diseases which helps keep there immune system up. Some say its is a natural antibiotic, thought I haven't seen any studies on fish. I soak my food and have seen my fish fight off ick with nothing but garlic soaked food, so it does something right.

    Would the juice from a jar of diced garlic work?

    Yes it might have some water in it too, but it should still work just a little weaker than the extract.
