NORI
 

JUst wondering how often you add your NORI to your clips? I add 8" by 6" strips,witch my hippo tang and yellow wrasse eat within a day or so. then i don't usually add more till 3 days later. just curious about the rest of you that feed nori to your tangs and othe fish.

Cheers,

Pluff

some of my tangs such as the naso vlamingii, breverosterois, and unicornis, can eat 4 sheets each per sitting, but I try to feed them less most days
thats feeding every day like that plus Mysis, yes I buy nori by the case....and mysis by the truckload...

I try to add nori to my tank evryday. My purple tang and lawnmower blenny really go nuts over it.

yeah those salaris(lawnmower) blennys do go nuts over it, greddy little buggers too, funny to watch a 4" blenny grab hold of a 16" tang and shake it till it swims away

Usually twice a day because I can't stand them staring at me. :biggrin:

Im always concerned about how much too put in, My purple tang loves it, but I dont want to over feed? Im interested to see how much others feed there tangs? i give mine about a 3 inch by 4 inch piece every day.

I put a 5"x5" everyday. Just the purple tang and blennie.

HTH

NORI
 

Yeah that was my concern,about feeding them too much. I think now i will start putting it in ever other day.

Thanks,

Pluff

must be nice to have tangs that actualy eat algae :rolleyes:

:mrgreen:

I second that remark :rolleyes:

I've been giving my 4" Purple Tang a 3"x3" piece daily, now I'm feeling guilty about underfeeding. Seems fat but could explain why he likes the mysis so much.

Mine still eats tons of mysis. I think they like meat quite a bit.

Mine took a while to get onto mysis but loves it now.

3 pieces 6"x2" twice a day for the Purple Tang and Moorishs. The Purple Tang is going to have to go on a diet soon due to its roundish figure.

Half a sheet per day for Algae Blenny, Yellow Tang, Naso Tang and Foxface :mrgreen:

I feed Nori once every two-four days.
I worry about possibly being forgetful and leaving the clip covered portion in my tank to rot...

Nori around a pipe
 

Diomededs - I roll my nori around a piece of 1/2" pvc and hold it in place with elastic bands in zigzags then hang the pvc from a zap strap or string into the tank. I find this method allow the entire piece of nori to be eaten and doesn't allow that small piece of nori to be left in the clip to rot.

It has also been suggested, that you can wrap the nori around the PVC and hold it on with a sleeve of gutterguard. This allows 100% fish service without any nori not being able to be eaten as under a clip.

For some reason, my blue tang and foxface completely ignore nori when on a clip or strapped to pvc. The only time they'll eat nori is if I break it up into small flakes, soak it, and dump it in my tank :neutral:

There you go spoiling your fish again :razz: ... let them fend for themselves ... after a couple days they will be tearing it off the pvc :razz: :cool: :mrgreen:

Hehe...you're probably right.

Fish: "What the hell is this...you want me to eat it off of what...a pipe!?"
