As I was making my homemade seafood blend at lunchtime (Co-Op frozen "seafood medley", nori sheets, phyto, for the curious), I paused while adding some extra nice garlic extract to think "what the heck am I doing here?" Are there ANY scientific studies that show that the use of garlic in the home aquarium adds anything to the experience but fragrance? This is the typical advice when searches are made:
I've added garlic, on occasion, to the fish in my five tanks and can't say that they notice it at all. Most certainly don't try to eat it, unlike nori, which is consumed by a wide variety of fish that shouldn't have any interest in it (ie. filefish).
This just can't all be apocrypha. Can it?
