To get the full benefit of garlic it should be fresh not bottled

Can you get fresh garlic juice? Or do you do your own? And do you mean just juice or do you put in minced? Just curious as always willing to save some on cash.

I squish up a clove and let it sit for a while with the frozen food thawing in a tiny bit of tank water, I pick out the big pieces of garlic before I feed it to the fish.

What kind of clownfish and anemone? I suspect they hosted in the bucket since it was their only refuge in there. Were they hosting in the anemone at the LFS? In any case, don't worry just yet, they'll take some time to get comfortable in their new surroundings.

My maroon clownfish didn't eat for almost a full week following introduction into the tank. All day he would do laps back & forth along the glass. No idea where he got the energy to do that for a week without nourishment but he didn't appear to lose much weight. It was quite a relief when he finally decided to start chowing down and once he did, he did so with gusto. He is now a big she with a male partner hosting in a BTA.

Well, the great part is that they are hosting again! I came to work ( where my tank is ) added some more water, fed the anemone and the mushroom coral and tried feeding the fish.

They nibbled at it but spat it all out again. I tried mysis shrimp and some flake food. I made my own concoction by blending a bunch of stuff together. Seemed to work fine for the mushrooms and the anemone, but the clown didn't want any.

I snagged a bunch of pix though.

I do the same. I don't feed garlic very often though, it makes my house smell like an Italian restaurant
