Seachem GarlicGuard isn't a medication itself — it's a garlic-based appetite stimulant and feeding aid built around allicin, the natural compound in garlic. Sick, stressed, or newly imported fish very often stop eating, which is exactly when they most need nutrition and medicated food. GarlicGuard's strong garlic scent tempts reluctant fish to eat, and it adds a dose of vitamin C while it's at it.
Good to Know: Its real power is as a partner to the -Plex treatments: when you bind medication to food with Seachem Focus, a little GarlicGuard makes that medicated food appetizing enough that an ailing fish will actually take it — turning "won't eat" into a treatable situation. Many keepers also use it routinely to encourage finicky or newly added fish to start feeding.
Garlic has long been associated anecdotally with supporting fish through parasite stress, but its dependable, proven job here is simple and valuable: getting fish to eat when it matters most.
Dosing Guidelines: Per the label, soak dry or frozen food in GarlicGuard before feeding, or add it directly to the tank. There's no real risk of overdose — it's a food additive, not a drug.
