you can use a stone and bowl to squash the chopped garlic but it easier to buy the extract in a bottle

could throw it in a blender

Jack Wattley used to say " you are using enough ( garlic juice) when your whole house smells like an Italian bistro"
I talked to a few phd's about it a while back......while garlic does have some mild antihelminitic properties the consensus seemed to be that there is not enough active ingredient to be of any use in an aquarium...to be useful you would have to use so much that there would be no room for any fish in the tank .
so...imo....myth.

its really unproven even in human consumption but the fact remains the fish love the smell or the taste cant hurt any to use it..

LMAO we got our own mythbuster...

1 lfs makes his own food and he says he puts lots of garlic in it. My wolf and ATP still dont eat it though, so it def doesnt work on all fish.

that would make sense, because your supposed to eat stuff with garlic in it when your sick. I will have to experiment with that.
