Favorite Frozen Veggie Food?

[Itchy Trigger]

I feed nori sheets a couple times a week, but was wondering if anyone could recommend a frozen food that was 100% (or at least predominantly) veggie for my tangs, foxface and angels. My daily feedings are quite varied - PE mysis, krill, Mega Marine Angel, Hikari brine with spirulina, New Era pellets (Aegis and Algae), Rod's, etc... Would be cool to have a frozen veggie food too. Any ideas?

fresh dark leafy veggies are good. broccoli/kale/etc.

 

[Itchy Trigger]

Well, I was thinking along the lines of a frozen prepared food that comes in cubes or flat packs.

I'm using Hikari Mega Marine Algae. It's the only one I could find without garlic.

Thanks, Myles. I'll check it out!

I use Cobalt Marine Vegi and San Francisco Bay Brand Emerald Entrée.

I use the Emerald Entree along with the Veggie Delight too. Spirulina Enriched Brine Shrimp is sometimes offered as well.

Great - I'll try all of these out!

Ocean Nutrition's Formula Two is another option.

If you can't find the flat packs your looking for just defrost the cubes in a cup of water for a few minutes and then use a spoon to dish out the portions.

I use Emerald Entrée, and I don't like it. It breaks down to very small pieces not suitable medium and large fishes.

I know it is not frozen, but most of my fishes love Seaweed Extreme small pellets.

I'm using Rod's Herbivore right now.

I actually just ordered some Rod's Herbivore and Hikari Mega Marine Algae... And thanks for the tip on the Emerald Entree - I do have lots of big fish, so that's good to know...

 

[AlSimmons]

A cube/flat pack with big fish should be consumed in an instant IME. No need to thaw it out. The "BIG DOG" will eat and the puppies get the leftovers. (the smaller fish) If you've got the time though, cut that food into portions with a spoon. Cancel out the middle man so to say...

No, they are not good. Marine fish did not evolve eating vegetables that grow on the dry ground. They lack the ability to digest these foods. Stick with the nori.

I agree... When I was feeding my tangs lettuce it was lettuce in lettuce out. No change.

I use ON Formula 2 (frozen and flakes) as well.

Please step away from your phone/tablet/PC, while I make this observation as I don't want you to end up as collateral damage.

I tried LRF herbivore blend, and it looked like LRF with a few chopped up pieces of nori in it. I said it "looked like." I did not perform any tests of the food or conduct any laboratory comparisons of LRF herbivore blend vs. regular LRF. So I could be (might well be) mistaken. If I am, please let me know.
