Veggies for Tangs

[JoeMomma]

I've heard of people doing this and so today I put a leaf of romaine lettuce in my veggie clip. Well it was gone within a couple of hours. Tang, tigger and angel went to town on it.

What other veggies have people had success with?

Broccoli is good.

Some people worry about the effects of terrestrial vegetables against seaweeds, etc. I don't know that there's any credibility to it, but I see where they're coming from.

I'd stick with seaweeds - they're much more nutritious, and less messy than many veggies. Lettuce has very little nutrition, I'd avoid it except as an occasional treat.

Try a health food store or Asian market where you can pick up dulce, wakame, nori and other seaweeds for much less than LFS packets.

Romaine Lettuce. Nori is messy. If your are getting Nori get the plain ones (untreated)

On the topic of messy, I find nouri waaaaaaaaaay messier than this lettuce. Once wet its flies all over the place and I find piles of it in my filter sock. The lettuce did not have that problem.

But likely a different story on the nutrition front...

I would be interested to try other seaweeds at the asian market!

You are feeding it wrong. Fold it over a few times so that it is the size of a large stamp. This way you have many small sheets insteasd of one large sheet.

What do you mean "try other seaweeds at the asain market"?? You mean other flavors?? You mean for you to eat??

 

[JoeMomma]

Ya I fold it over 8 times but it still flies all over the place.

I don't know if they are flavours but what ACBlinky suggested.

I fold mine and place it in a holder.

We have a store about one hour from us that is all about imported food. I just purchansed some dried algae and the tangs love it.
