Fish food

[Ed Kazz]

Hi,

Can someone recommend a online vendor to purchase fish food in bulk.
I have a large tank and the LFS only carries limited and small packages of food. Looking for sheet algae (Had looked in Wegmans but was afraid it was toasted and seasoned ).

Thanks
Ed

I used to by Nori from the local "asian" food store.. WAY cheaper than buying from any fish store..

Look in your grocery store Asian section for 'Sushi Nori'.

Is "Roasted or Toasted" Ok to use...unable to find raw.
Also is romaine lettuce ok to feed tangs ?

Thanks ...

Romaine is ok as well as other leafy greens. Mine eats a variety of cilantro, red/green leaf lettuce, romaine, and spinach that I rotate. Just no iceberg lettuce as it's just water with no real nutritional value.

In terms of Nori.....this is what I actually eat regularly and have ordering from them for the past few years now.

Here is some info. about their Nori....

Our Raw Organic Nori is:

Certified Organic USDA & EcoCert
Certified Kosher By Orthodox Union
RAW - UN-Toasted UnCooked, our nori is dried at under 85 degrees F.
Sealed in packages of 50 sheets for Freshness
Package has a Zipper Lock Seal to reseal and retain Freshness
100% Radiation and contaminant Free - tested in the USA every batch!

IMHO....this is one of the best places to buy Nori.

Do you boil or freeze the romaine or just place it straight in the tank?

I use to lightly boil it, but started just putting it in. I'm going back to boiling it in hope that it won't float. My newly added malenarus wrasse is super aggressive at pulling nori and greens out of my veggie net and creating a floating salad that ends up in the overflow.
