Feeding my fish Homemade Garlic Flakes
Like 2 Dislike 0 Published on 4 Apr 2014
Tonight, I decided to make and feed my fish some wholesome garlic flakes (great as a de-worming/anti-protozoan agent).
I minced about 4-5 cloves of garlic by peeling and adding them to a plastic bag. I then used a meat tenderizer to crush the cloves in the bag, so I don't lose any of the essential liquids/nutrients. After mincing them as fine as I could get them, I added Omega One fish flakes and mixed them around with my fingers outside of the bag.
Then it was feeding time!
Every fish in my tanks loved them. It didn't matter if they were Angels, BN plecos, Corys, micro fish (like T. hengeli or D. margaritatus), Black Ruby Barbs, Gouramis, Siamese Algae Eaters or Apistogrammas. They all devoured the garlic flakes (including the raw garlic pieces which were also thrown in).
What was thrown in might seem like a lot (and it was), but it will all be eaten (and was).
This is a very healthy meal. I would recommend adding garlic flakes to your fish's regular diet by alternating this with a few other foods, such as pellets, spirulina flakes/tabs, regular tropical fish flakes, freeze dried/frozen blood/tubifex/black worms/brine shrimp/etc.
