Trying out dried seaweed and nori sheets from Asian market

[00Warpig00]

Anyone think of any reason not to try these out. There is an Asian market about 3 doors down from one of my LFS's in the same strip mall, so I decided to stop in there today. found two different types of seaweed.

Wel-Pac Hijiki Dried Seaweed.

Nice thing about this stuff is it is in dried strands. I can crunch it up into flake-like pieces and put it into my morning feed cup.


Also Picked up some nori sheets. I hope it doesnt matter that is says they are roasted.

10 large sheets of nori for $2 and the first package was $1.79 cant beat that if it's ok to feed my fish this and they like it.

Currently have a Yellow Belly Blue Hippo Tang in QT thats going to get to try it. Along with the fish in my DT (see sig below) I have tried the Ocean Nutrition seaweed and my foxface cant seem to get enough of it. Hope he likes this stuff too. Not infused with garlic like the ON stuff is but there is 4x more of the stranded stuff (by weight) for 1/4 the price and 2x more of the nori sheets (by weight) for 1/4 the price.

Any insight/feedback from anyone on this.

Should be ok to try, I tried it with my blue tang and a yellow tang, they didn't seem too interested, just picked at it a little but would devour the omega one veggie flakes which are green...

Make sure it doesn't have any of that oil on it and you're good to go

I feed mine nori from the sushi section of our grocery store. The fish love it.

As long as the only ingredient is seaweed you're fine to use it ime.

FYI if needed you can get 100 full sheets (7x8) for $11 from noridirect.com. I usually buy 2 or 3 packs at a time.

I remember someone suggested "make sure it's UNSALTED" :lol:
On a serious note, I have been feeding my fish different seaweeds from the Asian market aside from nori.

I have 4 tangs, and I get simillar stuff from the asian market. Make sure it is "un-seasoned". Salted is ok, LOL!!! . Crunching into flake like pieces in a feed cup is not ideal for tangs, though. Best would be to cut it up into thin strips or roll it up like a cigarette then put it on a clip that attaches to the glass.

Here's a vid!!
