Nori from grocery store as fish food?

[ItsMee]

I noticed that my Drs Foster and Smith magazine sells Nori as fish food. I have nori in my kitchen for when I make sushi that I bought at the grocery store. Is it not wise to feed my fish this type of Nori?

You can definitely use that stuff as fish food. The pet stores simply repackage it and sell it for X1000 the price.

WOW Bump! I'm adding this *** a every other day diet for my tank.

Will the hermits and snails and shrimp eat on it too?

Make sure you add only regular unflavored or unseasoned nori.

While your at it, you might as well make some sushi for yourself.

Took the words right out of my mouth. I cook for a living.. I have seen a variety of nori in kitchens. Many are sesame flavored or have bonito (dried fish) in them. Make sure you read the back of the package. The good "pure" nori says 100% dried kelp or seaweed. Sometimes there is also a small package inside that absorbs water. I tear mine into small peices and soak in RODI then strain with a fine fish net and transfer to the tank. Just in case.

I agree.

Maybe from a bully fish?

Just make sure there are no added stuff and that it's just plain

Ah, nothing like reviving a 6 year old thread

But yes the cheapest place to get nori is the Chinese supermarkets.
