Minced, pureed, crushed. You can buy it minced in a jar with the juice...it smells really bad...or good...depends on if you like garlic. I have put it with food before and the fish go crazy for it. Weird. You can buy the garlic soak from Marine Depot or other online sites but it works just as good preparing it yourself or buying it from the grocery store.
Garlic is supposed to increase their appetite or something like that so they are easier to get onto prepared foods. Its also good for boosting the immune system, like a natural antibiotic. And yes, its good for carnivores, omnivores and herbivores. I have Garlic Guard (basically super concentrated garlic extract, it almost knocked me out when I first opened it, and I like garlic) that I mix with shrimp and scallops to make food packets for the time being. I'm still searching for some ingredients/recipes. They get those packets once a week. I'm not sure if there's a limit to the amount of garlic you should give them though.
But ya, garlic = good for your lovelies! lol

Uh-huh! I'd double check exactly what it does to their appetite though, I can't remember exactly. My fish go crazy for it! Even my flame angel, which is an herbivore and picks on the rocks all day, gets excited and grabs some shrimp bits. lol, Sundays are fun days at Kelly's house!
