    I had been buying the prepared with Garlic Seaweed from the LFS- even the good/less exspensive one was 4.99, for 0.4ozs! A popular name brand.

    Today I was in our cupboard, and found this sealed bag of seaweed my wife uses in soups mostly, with other things- she's Chinese- and a wonderful cook.
    The bag says 2.1ozs- wife says it cost like 2-3 dollars!

    So I cut open the bag- this is not the product to roll sushi in- we do that at times too. This is already in strips about 3in. long x 0.25 wide!

    It comes in a zip lock topped bag too!

    I thought- wow, this is it!

    But would the fish eat it? I had JUST fed them the last of the LFS product Nori with the garlic, etc.

    They went crazy for it!

    Even my Black Clark Clown fed some to his RBTA- only THIS time- he caught it and ate it!

    My fish are absolutely LOVING this stuff!

    Even my dwarf angels are eating it! - They never touched the LFS/garlic soaked stuff!

    5 times as much product- for half the cost!

    I should start packeging this and selling it!

    Even my clark Clown eats some, and keeps giving pieces to my RBTA- and the RBTA eats it!!

    Never trusted those pre soaked sheets. Look into home made fish food it's the best advice I can give you in terms of better feeding your fish

    I've wondered if people grade Nori was suitable for fish...

    I buy Nori sheets from my asian market, just make sure there are no preservatives, and the ingredients say seaweed, PERIOD. Pennies on the dollar, just add selcon occasionally and garlic occasionally;)

    I always figured that, if I could eat it, as people grade, it was OK for my fish too.

    The ingredients on the one I now use, in the pic says: Seaweed
    On the package front says 'Plain'
    that's all

    How do you feed it? Rubberbanded to a rock, with a clip?
