I heard that if you soak the oscar's food in crushed garlic juice that it can help kill parasites and boost there immune system. Is this true or false?

Also what are some other home remedies that you guys and women use?

hmmmm???? never heard of this
but i wont dismiss it, garlic can be beneficial to some pets but is it toxic to others?

wont it make ur tank smell?

garlic is very good for boosting immune system though.

never tried this with Oscars but I used to throw crushed cloves into the tank and the discus loved em, may have a go with the Oscars if the wife goes out for the day

2) Add a couple drops of garlic juice to each pellet. This gives of a pungent smell that hopefully the oscar won't be able to resist.

i found this

s1.zetaboards.com/theAquaventure/topic/1...61/1/?x=0#post155786

here in the thread "i wrote an oscar article"

tricks in giving your fishes dosage of garlic.

i used to give my o a treat of beef heart every now and then.
i do some experiment in inserting strip of fresh garlic in a
strip of beef heart. i am amazed how my fishes grabbed them
without any rejection.

just to sharing this idea in case you needed it.

yep yep. a lady at an lfs i visit told me this... she is very smart in aquatics.. much better than myself! i tried it and it worked great for me

I took some freshly minsed garlic and added it to a vegi blend that I made and the oscar ate it up barely leaving any for the other fish.... It worked great

Just tryed given my oscars garlic and they loved it. All i did was Crushed two cloves up

Hmm I think I will try this. I don't think I will have to worry about him not liking it, the only thing I have ever seen him spit out is poop and gravel

Well I guess I just found the absolute first thing he didn't like, he spit it right back out

LOL
