So cal
I've heard that you can feed fish food thats been in water with garlic, and it kills internal parasites and gives a better immune system.

Is this true? and can I just microwave some garlic in water then dip some pellets in it then feed to my fish?
 
i do not think they eat garlic in that way.. it is more the juice or oil from garlic that is mixed into the water.. and disolved and the properties of the garlic acts as a antibiotic against parasites.. so i would not mess with garlic other then if it is the perfect consistency and amounts per gallon etc.. all good things can be lethal in the wrong amounts..

thanks, I'll guess I'll mince some garlic then steep it in some hot water then soak pellets in it.
