Garlic soaking

[chapel210]

Is it ok to soak the fish food overnight in the fridge with garlic for a morning feeding? Just wondering cause I am changing my once a day feeding to two times a day.

what kind of food?

[chapel210]

mysis shrimp, emerald entree, and plankton. It's just a bit of each

Demm I've had one of those bottles for about a year, but I only use it once in awhile.

We do. Actually, I like putting the garlic in the food to prevent the fridge from smelling like fish food....yuck. Im super sensitive to 'fishy' smells, Brian cant smell it but I can. So not only does garlic get feeding responses, boost immunity, it ensures that the fridge doesn't smell fishy esp. if some spills.lol.

Yeah, frozen stuff does fine for a couple days, I wanted to make sure to ask though, just in case you were gonna throw some pellets in there overnight.
10 minutes is usually long enough for it to soak up the garlic, but I understand not wanting to do it in the morning while trying to get ready for work.
