Food tablets

[emeraldking]

This past weekend I bought some bulk packaging of food tablets for my fish. This time from Zoo Zajac when I was participating at the Vivarium 2023. Zoo zajac is one one of the largest pet stores from Western Europe. The brand name of these food tablets is Zac Premium. I had this brand before. And I do have to admit that it's high quality food. All of my fish are loving it. I got 3 different ones like veggie, garlic and main fish food.
And what I also love is that it won't make a mess in the tank.

As a co-exhibitor I got them with a nice discount.

Why won’t it make a mess in your tanks ?

It doesn't dissolve that fast...

I’ve used a few different brands too, and the ones that hold their shape longer are always a win—less mess, happier fish.
Speaking of bulk buys, if you're into stocking up for yourself, things like powdered milk can be super handy. I’ve always got some around for quick recipes or as a backup when I run out of fresh milk. If you’re wondering where to buy powdered milk, there are good options online that make it easy to keep on hand.

I always assumed it was added for taste???

well since this question went unanswered for a couple hours, I was forced to go searching, and found this...

It can entice picky eaters and I read that it helps with immunity. Seachem make a product called Garlic Guard, you can soak your fish food in it,

Of course there are many other brands that sell similar products, and include garlic directly in foods for that purpose.

Those look great, wish they were available here. I'm currently looking for some quality sinking cichlid wafers right now that doesn't include too many fillers/by products.

Sorry for my belated reply. I wasn't aware of the replies. I had some other things to focus on in my private life in Januari.
Well, all has already been said about using garlic in fish food. But the main point is that it keeps the fish healthy.
