Who Gives A Fish Forums

I'd mix a tiny amount with garlic juice and soak pellets. The garlic masks the taste, and the combo might help with absorption. Start with like 1/8 tsp per tablespoon of food, see how they react.

I've read about turmeric being used in fish food, but never directly in the water. It's supposed to boost immunity, but I'd worry about dosage. What's your tank size and current water params?

I've had a good experience with 9 pygmy corys and my male betta. He's pretty chill, but still likes to chase them - just not past his own turf. I think tank size and the betta's personality make a big difference.
