Julian sprungs Sea Veggies?

I have been using the green seaweed variety and was wondering if anyone knows the benefit of using the purple or red would be. They seem to like the green, thought to maybe mix it up but wasn't sure if they are any better than the green.

 

Each species of algae contains different things. For instance, reds, and to a lesser extent, the purples have higher concentrations of carotenoids, which benefit fish coloration.

 

Perfect a variety it is than.

 

If i remember correctly they sell a julian sprungs veggie that has all three mixed for you. I bought some of that for my tomini tangs and they loved it. That was like 4 years ago though)

 

I'll look online again the Lfs only has three separate packages, thank you!

 

My Tangs love the purple. They even prefer it to the green.

 

I bought the red, it's weird, it's like a dried up whole tobacco leaf. They didn't enjoy it as much as the green, my lawn mower and yellow tang rip the green up they nibbled at the red.

 

Doctor foster and smith sell mixed veggie flake. But not the leafs..

 

yes, mine didn't like the red as much. i think mine are so used to the sheets that the leaves scared them.
