garlic food

I've been feeding my fishes some of their dry foods soaked in garlic juice. If this works at all, it's supposed to be effective only with fresh garlic- I'm assuming canned is just as good-
It doesn't take much- just a few drops of garlic juice (heady scent) is enough for the small amount of crumbled food. In this case, broken up shrimp pellets. The fish like it- they gobble quickly. I think even after the fear of more ich is gone, I will once a week soak their freeze-dried bloodworms or the betta pellets in this. Supposed to help keep them healthy, and the dried foods are better fed hydrated- so it doesn't swell in their tummies.
