    I use Seachem Garlic Guard with pellets. I mix some pellets with the liquid, wait until it dries and feed the fish. It is better than with flakes because the pellets will absorb all the liquid.

    I usually just smash a few cloves and put them in a one litter bottle with RO/DI water and add that to my pellets or frozen. It's good for a couple weeks if left in the fridge.
