Yup, crushed is better though, unless you are very adept with a chopping knife and able to do it finely.


Antiparasitic, immunostimulant, appetite stimulant, antioxidant, and you can use the garlic breath to drive off people who are annoying you


It's actually English, not American. It's like American but with all the good bits left in :naughty:

LOL. Crushed it is. But how much per one shrimp?

You seem to know a lot about garlic. What do you eat garlic with?

English. Of course. hahahaa.

Ok Davidkye, I agree with everyone about the garlic and the fact that the cooked and coloured shrimp arn't AS healthy but still good none the less. One thing that I havn't seen mentioned here (Perhaps my skimming abilities have failed me however) I wouldn't leave any food in the tank longer than an hour as it will start to cause water quality issues. My general rule is that if they don't eat it after 30-45 mins ... they prob won't and I'll pull it out them... mind you I'm fantical about keeping my tank water as clear and a clean as possible...:D
Ive left it in there past an hour.....And SOMETIMES depending on size and amount of shrimp left in, it does get eated. Even overnight. But i wonder, when does it start to get so nasty...they start getting stuck to driftwoods and what not?
 
I leave chopped shrimp in the tank for no more than 2 hours, this is just personal preference because if I leave it in past that I sometimes forgwet and if I leave it over night it sometimes starts to get fuzzy.

Definitely guppy, After over night, it becomes fuzzy, nasty, and stinky. Thank you taking the time to read the post everyone!
