Minced Garlic

joeyt66 · 04/27/2008, 05:10 AM

I like to mix in a bit of garlic in the food i prepare for my fish, so today well I was at the dollar store i found some minced garlic. I was wondering if I could use this. The ingredients are.....Water, dehytrated granulated garlic dehydrated minced garlic veg. oil and citric acid.

Anything in that sound bad ?

NO NO NO. I would never use anything that is not made specifically for marine fish. They have garlic specifically for fish soaking. Check you LFS. Kent make a brand.
