I was thinking that it seeks most of my SW fish require I soak their food in some vitamin solution or another and a lot of the dry pellet food is loaded with Garlic.

It made me wonder as most of us feed our Aro such things as (Frogs, crickets, prawn, shrimp, feeders, worms, etc)...Does anyone soak the food in any kind of garlic or vitamin solution?


If so what food and what kind?

I tried to give my Dat and Aro some shrimp saoked in ZOE (SW viatmin mix) and they did not care for it at all.
 
I don't think ZOE will help the FW fish at all, I have a reef tank and I feed my fish with pellets and frozen food soaked in selcon. Most ingredients in selcon and zoe are designed for SW fish as far as amino acids and etc.

I feed my FW fish with frozen food, food stix, cichlid gold and massivore delight soaked in garlic and it gives a good balance of yummy treats and great vitamin source from the pellets.

I haven't seen Viltality at on line resellers an LFS near me is a Seachem Plat dealer...

Here's a description from their web site:

http://www.seachem.com/home/home.html

Vitality™ is a comprehensive vitamin, amino acid, and trace element supplement developed to address nutritional requirements commonly associated with long term closed system housing of marine ornamental fish. Vitality™ contains ascorbic acid in a heavy base of spirulina and chlorella. Ascorbic acid is a cofactor in the hydroxylation of proline and lysine to components of procollagen, the precursor of collagen, necessary for the formation of connective tissues, scar tissue in wound repair, and bone matrix.* Both spirulina and chlorella contain a rich assortment of amino acids and vitamins. Vitality™ can be used on freshwater ornamental fish; however, it is specifically designed for marine fish where lateral line degeneration disease is often encountered.
 
once in a while i soak my mealworms in "Sera-fishtamin" before feeding, does it make a difference? no idea..... but surely it helps abit right?

main staple is hikari foodsticks though, so i think it includes all vitamins and minerals that a fish needs.
