    My question is, I have two brands of seaweed sheets... Which one is better for my fish? All my fish love both brands so Im down to the point I wanna know which ones better... If anyone has some tips to tell me what's good and bad please let me know :).

    Omega One Super Veggie:

    Min. Protein - 24%
    Min. Fat - 3%
    Max. Fiber - 3%
    Max. Moisture - 10%

    Oceans Nutrition Seaweed Selects:

    Min. Protein - 33.9%
    Min. Fat - 1.4%
    Max. Fiber - 5.2%
    Max Moisture - 6.8%

    Any opinions would greatly be appreciated!

    Honestly, there are very small variances in the two, i would go with the cheapest one.

    Im no dietician but

    the higher protien, lower fat combination of the Oceans nutrition brand sounds better to me - but in all probability it makes no difference anyway

    That's what I was thinking at first too, but it depends on what type of fat. Then, as you came to the same conclusion, it probably doesn't really matter.

    Omega doesnt say what kind, and all oceans says is crude... if that helps any?

    +1 on the nori. Find an asian market. It is so much cheaper.

    I would but when we went into the place here in town, the nori was covered in a white powdery substance... The guy didnt know what it was either. and with me not being 100% sure. I rather not put something in my tank that could have the possibility to hurt it.
