I looked in to it it is highly unnecessary and only leaches out vitamins. I will continue pouring it in straight from the jar. Also the vitamin soak is a bad idea because you will literally OD your fish on vitamins from all the research I gathered today. NLS is a staple food made for cichlids it has all that they need in it.

This man has covered it.

LOL im trying to get experience about both sides of something debatable that is how you get informed.

As previously mentioned, not only is there no need to soak NLS, doing so can actually cause some of the water soluble vitamins to leach out.
There is also no need to add garlic etc, NLS already has an ample amount of garlic in the food.

Feed your fish sparingly, keep the water clean & stable, and offer a low stress environment & you'll be golden.

It doesn't have to be NLS,it works with any food they like,first time they will spit out,but they will eat i like to feed them in the morning when they are really hungry....first smash the garlic then add water to separate garlic from its juice's,next screen it with you fish-net,then put the food in to the garlic juice for about 30mts.Then its TIME TO EAT!!!! trust me it works,you wont lose fish very easily to sickness...

Other than newly purchased specimens that haven't been through a proper quarantine period, I haven't had a sick fish in several years.

hmm im down to try new things. Doesnt NLS already have some garlic? Doesn't it have anti parisitic properties?

Too much garlic in a food and the results can be counter productive.
