Seachem GarlicGuard 500 mL
Seachem GarlicGuard is a natural garlic-based appetite enhancer designed to help stimulate feeding response in aquarium fish. It is especially useful for picky eaters, newly introduced fish, stressed fish, or fish recovering from illness.

Why Use Seachem GarlicGuard?
Some fish may refuse food after shipping, relocation, stress, illness, or changes in water conditions. Seachem GarlicGuard helps make food more appealing by adding a garlic-based scent and flavor that can encourage a stronger feeding response.
It is especially useful when feeding medicated foods, since fish may be less willing to eat food that has been mixed with medication. GarlicGuard can help improve food acceptance while keeping feeding simple and controlled.
How to Use
Soak the fish food in Seachem GarlicGuard before feeding. After the food has absorbed the liquid, feed as normal. GarlicGuard can be used with pellets, flakes, frozen foods, freeze-dried foods, or medicated food blends.
Use daily or as needed depending on the fish and feeding situation. For medicated foods, GarlicGuard is often paired with Seachem Focus to help bind medication to food before feeding.
