Nori alternative?

[shaka]

The only Nori I see at the local ( Chicago area) Asian foodstores is roasted Nori. Besides "Sea Veggies" and other prepared fish foods, are there any other dried seaweeds that are suitable for aquarium use?

Sea veggies is by far the best quality and nutrition for your fish.

I use roasted seaweed and my fish simply love it.

Years ago, people used to feed broccoli leaves. I don't see people doing that any more. Maybe because the leaves are hard to get.

You also could look for spirulina algae prepared for human consumption.

Me too. I also feed turnip greens, frozen to soften them.

Thanks everyone.

I use the roasted Nori, but I read that "roasted" isn't the best for feeding fish. I guess the roasting process might remove nutrients from the seaweed. But that is just a "guess" on my part, I'm not sure that roasted Nori is nutritionally deficient. I used to feed Romaine lettuce but not anymore. I'll keep looking for plain Nori but until I find some I'll just stick with the roasted Nori. My fish really love it.

Roasted is fine as long as it's not seasoned.

I don't know how they dry nori, but would not be surprised to learn that heat is used or that drying otherwise also compromises nutrient content somehow.
