Jeff has a point here guys. Lawnmowers are herbivores, they probably don't have a digestive system set up for meat protein. You ever fed meat to a cow? It just comes out the other end pretty much undigested, they don't have the enzymes required as they are herbivores. Ever seen a cat eat grass? There is a reason they barf it up. They can't digest it, wrong enzymes because they are carnivores. Any protein found in nori would have a different chemical makeup than animal based proteins. I for one would think that plant based proteins would be a lot better and easier to digest for the fish. He may go nuts for bloodworms, but I would imagine he has quite the gut ache after eating it.

JMO,
Christy
