Can even get cheaper if you have an Asian Food supply store anywhere near by. Usually can get it all kinds of forms. Sheets, shredded, chopped...

Stick with the green type. My fish would not go near the red.

Also check to make sure not "flavored" with some kind of spices, which it sometimes is.



Good Luck!

I put one good size piece of broccoli in the tank everyday on a clip and it keep the tangs happy. They just need to pick on something all the time to stay happy.
