Nori
 

Who feeds it and how often?

Is it true that you can buy this stuff in Asian markets for a fraction of the cost?

I feed it everyday my tang, coral beauty and the blennies love it.
I buy the unseasoned plain dried nori at Asian markets, and it is pretty cheap for a big package.

Yes, you can buy it for cheap at the Asian markets. Just get the sheets that are pure Nori with no seasonings or additives.

You can buy it at most grocery stores.

gt it at the hanna or t&t for the best prices

1/4 of a sheet every day, all my fish eat it but my tangs realllly love it

I get it at the Asian markets and feed a half sheet every day.

Good to know, Thanks everyone.

So I've bought a bag of sushi nori at the market.
The ingredients listed are plain dried seaweed. I called the distributor and they've assured me that there are additives or anything added to this product and assured me it's plain dried seaweed.
That being said I'm still hesitant to feed it yet.
Any thoughts?

Yup, you're paranoid :) It's fine, most of us have been using it for years.

The only nori I know of that is bad is stuff from costco that is combined with grape seed oil.
If ingredients say dried seaweed, feed the fish. They're hungry.

To reverse check, look at the seaweed sold by Julian Sprung. It has the perforations to cut for sushi :) Same stuff.

Yep! it's identical :rockon: I asked all the same questions, you should be good to go.

i feed my yellow tang a quarter sheet of Two Little Fishies Seaweed every day. Is that enough seaweed for him? I also feed him pellets, mysis and brine daily.

You may want to buy bulk, 50 sheets for 1/4 the price. And ya, that's probably fine, as long as it also has some algae or other food during the day.

Thanks for the input.
I was being being a bit paranoid.
Will start them in this 2$ stuff tomorrow.
Can't believe how much cheaper it is than the lfs, for what appears to be the same thing.

Can't blame the LFS for trying to make a profit, it's the manufacturers/suppliers that provide them with that nicely packaged overpriced 20 gram bit of nori to sell to their loyal customers. Congrats, you are now an informed consumer! And you don't have to worry about grabbing a sheet of the generic market nori & scarfing it down yourself. I've been known to gobble down a sheet or two myself as I'm preparing the snippets I feed to my fishes. Certainly wouldn't do that with the "special for fish nori" from the LFS.

Seaweed
 

Nori - Seaweed the same thing. Dried Seaweed packaged and sold under different brand names.

I have done the same.. I had to high my nori stash for my fish as my son loved it,(I made sushi one day) and then got my daughter to eat it LOL
