Food soak?

[Coto]

I food soak with vita chem, selcon, and garlic guard and was just curious if anyone else does this as well. It’s a relatively new practice I’ve been doing and have noticed its helped with picky eaters; I soak PE Mysis, usually another brand of smaller mysis, ROE, and a herbivore mix I’ve found recently in one of the frozen multipacks. I’m just curious about other peoples feeding habits and if you soak what do you use? I currently stock a tomini tang, bluesided fairy wrasse, engineer goby, long fin clown, starry blenny and a Valentini puffer in a 105.4 waterbox :)

I always do selcon, i did some vitachem in the past when I found a bottle in my cabinet.

Unless I have an actively picky eater who will not eat food without garlic, i would not use garlic for every meal. There have been reports that garlic can cause liver damage in fish.

I've never soaked any food. I feed a wide variety of different foods, so somehow every fish is getting something they like and the varied food offers varied nutrition. My opinion only, cheers.

Not new at all Paul B has been doing it for 50 years. He also soaks his food in fish oil

I like to put selcon and vitachem on nori before feeding it. I'll also add some to my frozen food once or twice a week. I don't use garlic much as i haven't read anything that states it is beneficial except to maybe entice picky eaters to feed.

I only soak in garlic if there's an issue with a fish in the tank. I've never QT'd until the last fish I just added but I've been very selective about where I buy fish so I haven't had many issues and/or been super lucky!

I have been soaking most of my food in Vitachem, Selcon and a drop of Garlic Xtreme.
