Garlic juice?

[rickster88888]

Hi,

This morning i threw a bunch of peeled garlic into my food processor and sqeezed out a bottle of thick concentrated garlic juice.

After soaking my formula 2 pellets in this concentrated garlic juice for half and hour, i tried feeding my fishes but dunno y they refuse to eat it. All of them eat it and immediately spit it out again...

Just wondering if i did anything wrong there? Now i dunno what to do with my garlic juice....

why dont u try Kentmarine garlic Xtrem? Its pricy, else can try seachem garlic guard. Its really a hassle to blend all the garlic juice.

I used garlic xtreme w no issue.

Thanks for the reply bro...

No lah i went to the supermarket with my mom this morning so i bought a bag of garlic loh...

Already juice out the garlic with my food processor and now got a bottle in my fridge. Dunno if the garlic juice is too hot for them or wad, all my fish spit out the garlic soaked pellets.

Hrmz, try not to use too much garlic for the 1st few times....the fishes are proberbly just aren't used to the new taste. Give them some time and they'll go after the food like before.

I tried it the first time this week. I diced up a single clove of garlic. Like into 8 pieces. Mixed it with 2 pallet of frozen brine shrimps. Mixed it for like 5 minutes..the fish took them in.

I of course threw the garlic away.. today, I tried feeding them the rest of the shrimps still had garlic smell..

I guess once they are used to it, I might leave the garlic in the remaining shrimps..to give them a stronger kick...

Maybe blending it was too strong...even for some humans.

Haha, you should try smell the seachem garlic guard. I nearly puked, the smell was overpowering. Im too lazy to dice up/blend garlic everytime. Guess i'll have to stick with either the Kent or the Seachem one. Anyone has any idea which 1 is better? The Kent or Seachem?

The garlic is quite hot actually.....

My hand got a slight burning sensation when i was squeezing it. Maybe tomorrow i will try to dilute it a bit.

Just checking if anyone tried wad i did but with success?

Thanks for the info! I'll get the Kent one after i finish this bottle. Any info about where i can the Kent Garlic near the east or central?

Garlic juice and even human grade garlic oil both work. Only reason might be the pellets. Imagine the amount of garlic solution pellets can absorb. Doubt fish will take food which tastes more like garlic than fish food.

[rickster88888]

Cant be the pellets cos i used to feed formula 1/2 pellets and they eat it readily. Only today then i started soaking it with garlic and they spit it out the moment they eat it....

I think Fuel meant that the pellet might ahve soaked in too much garlic juice.

I have been feeding my fishes mysis soaked in seachem garlic and so far all my fishes just love it. The fish I'm keeping are tangs, royal gramma, anthias, clowns...

Put a bit of garlic juice is enough. i use to do that and the fishes luv it
