Rethinking how I feed nori ..

[Delphinus]

Haha, those guys are hilarious. I had one that would put on a huge show of bravado anytime I cleaned the glass on the outside with a white cloth - he HATED that white cloth! He would chase it away the whole time.

Well I must say I'm sort of intrigued of just rolling it like a cigarette or something like that and letting them go berserk at the "stick" of nori. I'll have to try it and see how it goes. Used to be that it was too messy for my liking but maybe things will be different now.

so do people just clip a full sheet on without folding? is that why people dont like the clip?
i did that the first day and said, wtf thats bs, so i started folding because i thought thats what you were suppose to do.

when i put just a sheet in without folding there is bunch of nori floating around

[Delphinus]

I had been folding. The issue was in the way the tang would eat the nori. If he grabbed the end there was no problem. If he grabbed at any part in the middle, the end part would get torn off and float away. By wrapping around a pipe, the only part that can be eaten is at the outside edge no matter what.

A unfolded sheet was even worse. I'd end up with a square of nori flying around in the current and the fish was too scared of the flying nori to even chase after it. Happy times.

I use one of those suction cup clips, I roll it nice and tight and then fold it once. Seems to work OK. My fish don't attach the Nori though so I don't have them going at it and ripping it to shreds.

I use one of the suction cup clips as well but I removed the suction cup and tied a piece of clear fishing line to it. This way it sinks to the bottom with the nori pointing straight up and waving in the current. The line is to retrieve it without sticking my hands in the water.

I do the same as intarsiabox. The only problem I've ever had when hanging this Ocean Nutrition clip was one time when my eel decided it wanted to eat the nori and actually broke some 4 lbs test fishing line... I still dont understand how.

It's funny I finally got my Kole to eat Nori today (what the hell is WRONG with that tang he loves pellets lol) and the way that finally succeeded was to tear it into little bit and toss them in. Nobody else wants it so I know he'll always get his fill.

[Rbacchiega]

added some nori to the tank for the first time yesterday....my Kole tang had little interest in it at first...and even after he found it didn't attack it....rather just nibbled on it all day....weird

[Aquattro]

I use a suction cup clip with the suction cup removed, and zap strapped on a small bracket that hangs on the side of the tank. Works great for me.

[Delphinus]

And just rolled inside in the clip Brad? Or loose? Or folded once or twice?

I tried cigarette-rolling the nori the other day. It sort of worked out OK I guess but the stuff is dry so it cracks a little and kind of broke up anyhow. So I reverted back to sushi-rolling it over the pipe for now using zap straps but the non-reusable kind so it's a huge pain to wiggle them over the nori. This won't last long before I lose patience with this process.
