Enriched with Vitamin C, it supports fish immunity with antifungal and antibacterial properties. Safe for all freshwater, saltwater, reef, and planted tanks, this shelf-stable formula is a must-have for turning finicky eaters into enthusiastic feeders. ## Description Garlic Guard is an all natural garlic scented odor and flavor enhancer for freshwater and saltwater fish. Our research has shown that many fish are attracted to natural odors, such as garlic. Simply mix Garlic Guard with any food item, such as Sachem's Nutrient Flakes, to attract the interest of finicky eaters, e. g. discus and marine angelfish. Garlic Guard is safe for reef and planted aquariums. Review: Simple but Effective - I love garlic guard. I have the 500ml bottle and it is a great value, I use it almost daily to soak my pellets and freeze dried brine shrimp to make them more palatable and nutritious. Garlic has an immunity benefit for fish and it is also antifungal/antibacterial so it is very beneficial for your fish beyond stimulating feeding instincts for them. I will give a testimonial for this product: I had a fish that was losing color and not eating because he did not like the pellets because he was wild caught. After using this product everyday on their food he is eating again and has a subtle golden glow coming back. I recommend this product, just only use a small amount enough for the pellets to absorb. You do not want to have a garlic guard puddle after an appropriate time soaking, I soak for about 10-15 minutes but it depends on the pellet size and type since freeze dried foods hydrate almost instantly for me. Overall, simple but great product! It's essentially just garlic juice but fish love it and it can indeed get to some picky eaters. To my knowledge this is shelf-stable so no need to refridgerate and it does not expire which is a plus so a bigger size on sale might be a better option in terms of size to sale. Review: It Actually Works!!!! - Garlic Guard really works - and so good! I recently received new fish and all of them were infected with bacteria and parasites. Poor little guys- but trying to get them to eat medicated food has been a real challenge. Treating the water is important but some fish treatments need to be ingested and can be really tough on their breathing when dissolved in water. I have tried everything! Even ordering pre-medicated foods but when I added this to the homemade recipe following the package instructions they gobbled it up. (You need a binder like Seachem Focus also available from desertcart) It’s a MIRACLE they’re eating at ALL let alone their medicine!!! The pictures show them going back for more after the initial feeding frenzy. I guess they just couldn’t get enough which is perfectly fine because the dosing is accurate and so easy using the package instructions. I mixed everything together and added Garlic Guard to let the dry mix soak it in just before feeding. They haven’t been eating well and they went crazy for it after adding this product. There’s hope for these little guys yet! Everything Seachem has is top notch and it is all available on desertcart! ## Features - Concentrated garlic supplement - Enhances appetite - Also contains Vitamin C, a strong anti-oxidant ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000256DV8 | | Allergen Information | Yam Free | | Best Sellers Rank | #13,601 in Pet Supplies ( See Top 100 in Pet Supplies ) #201 in Aquarium Fish Food | | Brand | Seachem | | Brand Name | Seachem | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 3,514 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00000116017305 | | Included Components | Seachem Garlic Guard 500-Ml | | Item Form | Liquid | | Item Type Name | Aquarium supplement | | Item Weight | 0.54 kg | | Liquid Volume | 500 ml | | Manufacturer | Seachem Laboratories, Inc. | | Manufacturer Part Number | 173 | | Model Number | 173 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Pet Type | Fish | | Target Species | Fish | | UPC | 000116017305 764999773351 | | Unit Count | 16.9 Fluid Ounces | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Seachem - **Item Form:** Liquid - **Item Weight:** 0.54 kg - **Liquid Volume:** 500 ml - **Number of Packs:** 1 ## Images ![Garlic Guard 500-Ml - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61RdwTafJgL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: and how much garlic do i need to use to soak flakes? 1 drop? 1ml? teaspoon?** A: the bottle has directions.
