Feeding Seaweed

[naesco]

Catherine try the spirulina discs made by Wardley and others in addition to the nori.
Make sure to check to see that spirulina is not the lowest ingredient on the package. Unike nori which can breakup and float around and get hidden in the rock, the discs stay firm for a day or two and the tangs eat them all day.
The discs are also available in very large containers which are cheaper.

The disks aren't for me. I've tried them in the past and they just do perform like I need them to. With the smaller quantity of nori that I use now, and the method of delivery that I have chosen, a feeding stick, I've found something that works perfect for me. My fish don't touch the disks, and they are expensive to boot.

I have been feeding some of my fish the Two Little Fishys Green Seaweed sheets, and I am almost out. I see that it is also available in purple and red seaweed. Do some varieties of fish prefer different colors of seaweed?

I feed 1/2 sheet every day to a 5" SF Tang, 5" Foxface, 3" Dwarf Angel and a 3" Ruby-headed Wrasse. Takes them about 3/4 hour to eat it. I alternate between red, brown & green nori.

when I had my four inch mimic tang I fed it a $5.00 bill size of nori a day.

I am feeding 1 sheet every 2 days. Everyone in the tank gets in on the action including the clowns, six line wrasse, lawnmower blennie, coral beauty, and 2 tangs.

Wow, I'm nothing near those amounts.

Have Purple and Regal Tangs plus a Foxface all about 4-5", along with 2 Damsesl, 3 Clowns and a Six-line Wrasse. All I feed is about 12sq inches of Nori, 1/8Tsp pellets, and if I crushed it up maybe 1/4-1/2Tsp of flake daily. Odd time I'll add some Mysis or Selcon.

Fish are all healthy.
