Seachem GarlicGuard
Seachem GarlicGuard is an all-natural, garlic-scented odor and flavor enhancer that makes food irresistible to finicky and newly arrived fish. Mix it into any food, from flakes and pellets to frozen and freeze-dried, to tempt picky eaters such as discus and marine angelfish, and to coax stressed or quarantined fish back into feeding. GarlicGuard is safe for freshwater, saltwater, reef, and planted aquariums. Browse our full fish food and nutrition range and the rest of the Seachem lineup.
What GarlicGuard Does
- Tempts finicky and newly added fish to start eating
- Adds a natural garlic scent and flavor that fish are drawn to
- Helps stressed, shy, or quarantined fish resume feeding
- Safe for reef and planted tanks; will not harm corals, invertebrates, or plants
- Works with any food: flakes, pellets, frozen, and freeze-dried
How to Use
Add GarlicGuard to food and let it soak for a minute or two before feeding. A few drops will moisten and flavor a pinch of dry food, or thaw frozen food in a small amount of GarlicGuard. Because it is a food additive rather than a water dose, there is no risk of overdosing the tank. It pairs naturally with Seachem NutriDiet flakes and any staple diet.

FAQ
Will GarlicGuard cure ich or parasites?
No. GarlicGuard is a feeding attractant, not a medication. It is popular for keeping fish eating during quarantine or recovery, but actual disease should be treated with the appropriate fish medication.
Is it safe for reef and planted tanks?
Yes. GarlicGuard is safe for corals, invertebrates, and live plants when used as directed.
How do I use it?
Add it to your fish food and let it soak for a minute or two before feeding. Use it with flakes, pellets, frozen, or freeze-dried foods.
Can I overdose it?
No. Because it is mixed into food rather than dosed into the water, a moderate amount is all you need and it will not affect water chemistry.
