I would guess they don't. ;) Do you think it would hurt them?

But maybe more to the point, why do the tropical fish the mysis flakes were intended for need garlic? Unless they like shrimp scampi?

Not sure it actually worked, but it's supposed to. Not sure I would use it on cp's as garlic oil is pretty harsh, would probably burn leaves.
