Old garlic

bbearden101 · Jun 5, 2016

So I've started soaking my foods in this garlic guard from seachem. Can I dump the liquid and food in the tank? I'm planning on getting a spoon and separating what I can. The old liquid can I just keep using it till it's gone aslong as I keep it refrigerated?

Why are you using it in the first place? It has no medicinal purposes that has been scientifically proven. Used only to temporarily entice picky eaters. Has been scientifically proven to cause liver damage from long term use.

Because I have a coral beauty that in the week I've had it hasnt really ate much besides some formula one flake food, I have rods fish food, and a variety of cubes I've tried

So back to the first part should I re use the liquid, or just strain the food out and dump it and then refill next feeding time

Possibly you're not feeding the proper foods. Foods that it likes. The diet of the Coral Beauty Angelfish should consist of Spirulina, marine algae, high-quality angelfish preparations, mysis or frozen shrimp, and other quality meaty foods.
FYI-None of my fish will eat Rods. Not saying it's not a great food just saying not all fish will eat it.

The only thing I think I haven't tried is spirulina, I constantly see it grazing on algae, or pods threw the day I did Google what they ate before I decided to get it tho curious of what others have had success with. The garlic worked last night he tore up a rods combo with some extra mysis thrown in. I'll probly do the garlic for a couple feedings then see how he does afterwards
