How to do garlic

[Sgooosh]

So my guppies have white stringy poop and i want to soak garlic and prazipro in their food.
How do i crush the garlic and stuff

I use a garlic press, for myself that is. They are probably available at Walmart & Amazon. I don’t know anything about treating fish with garlic. Supermarkets sell crushed garlic in jars

You can use garlic powder (for cooking) if you have that. So long as no other additives. Not sure of the exact ratio but a small pinch for a Tablespoon of food should work.

Just treat them with levamisole or flubendazole

I use a garlic press. Never heard of usig garlic powder. It is very concentrated, so exact measurements would be hard. If you need help treating them, post it on a different thread, because garlic will not solve all your problems.

I have always thought of garlic as a human thing, not a fish thing.

Well it’s not like you’re going to overdose the fish with garlic. If they still aren’t eating the food try adding a little more. I think the OP’s intention was to add praziquantel to the food too and the garlic just to make the food more appealing.

Garlic can be used in many different ways.

It has many vitamins good for fish, and many for humans. It can be used to repel snakes if tied to boots. The specific vitamins I won't go into, but it helps with the immune system. It can help prevent the Common cold, and the flu! Here is some more information:

Another good thing about garlic, fish like it! Many people soak pellets in garlic for large, stubborn cichlids.

I use New Life Spectrum flakes. It contains several vitamins and also Garlic. And the fish like it..which is important.

Like I said human things like a common cold, which hopefully your fish don't have. All the fish will end up with bad breath!!

Sorry about my reply, I really have never thought about feeding fish garlic, even though I know it is in some fish foods.

Garlic powder is great for spaghetti sauce & meatloaf. lol
