Get Finicky Eaters to Eat AgainDiscus, marine angelfish, and other picky fish often refuse to eat, leaving them undernourished and hard to medicate.GarlicGuard is an all-natural garlic-scented odor and flavor enhancer for freshwater and saltwater fish. Research has shown many fish are attracted to natural odors such as garlic, so mixing GarlicGuard with any food attracts the interest of finicky eaters. Garlic can also assist in controlling parasites and secondary fungal infections, and it has antioxidant properties, all while staying safe for reef and planted aquariums.GarlicGuard is made by Seachem Laboratories, the chemistry-driven aquatics company founded in 1979 in Madison, Georgia. Seachem's own chemists develop each product in-house, and the same GarlicGuard used here is one of the natural components enriched into Seachem's probiotic NutriDiet foods, so you are adding a supplement built on real aquatic science rather than a generic additive.
