Choosing the right Nori for Tangs?

[Gtinnel]

I use this one on amazon... (I hate that we can't link stuff from Amazon...!!)

I don't know if this is the right seaweed but I think we can link to Amazon

Dayum that's cheap! Will check it out next go around. It's in my cart!

EDIT: NM, it's roasted... That I won't do, only dried nori.

I'm not noticing and problems with my fish. What's the problem with roasted?

From what I understand the roasted loses more nutritional value over dried. It's a personal preference. I used to use roasted, I'd just make sure there was no additional ingredients or preservatives. I notice with dried, there isn't worry about 'ingredients' being added to the nori.

I buy a bulk pack of 2 Little Fishes Nori sheets every few months. I just don't feel comfortable adding something to my tank that is not specified for my tank.

All four of mine love this; . All natural, no additives and cheap as it gets.

The Best one I've used and I've used that green packaged one as well. Do not worry about it saying it's roasted. Nothing wrong with it. Texture are the same as every nori/sushi sheet I've tried. And you're saving a lot of money than buying julian sprung/ocean nutrition ones. Been using this same brand for about 2 years now. All 13 tangs and my blueface and scribbled angels love it.

No need to get the "fish food" nori, it's literally the same stuff as what's at any asian market but more expensive. It's the same kind of seaweed prepared the same way. Just make sure you get unseasoned and that the ingredients read "seaweed" or "seaweed, kelp" or something like that. I've gone to asian markets and always just bought whatever was on sale. My scopas tang has been happy and fat for 8 years now.

I chickened out and went to the LFS to buy the Julian Spring's Sea Veggies Green Seaweed. My tang actually liked the one I previously used from the Asian grocery store more. Imagine that? I tasted them myself and the nori from the LFS tasted exactly like the one I used from the Asian market. I do want to cause some folks. I have several types of Asian market nori in the house. The one package from China only listed seaweed as an ingredient, but I did noticed a hint of sugar and possibly MSG. The other package I used is made in Korea and also listed seaweed as the only ingredient and roasted but didn't have any flavoring to it - which was the one I previously used in the aquarium. I guess the advice here is if you are going to use asian market nori, taste it first and you can't trust the labeling on the packages.

I use this stuff (I used to buy it on eBay but he recently started selling it on Amazon.
My fish all go crazy for it. Be careful with the stuff that's made for sushi, some of them are roasted which I would assume removes some nutrients.

All the ones I've used have been roasted. Nothing wrong with them at all.

It's hard to know for sure but I feel like my tangs like the garlic infused nori from Ocean Nutrition over the Julian Sprung TLF stuff (i have green and purple both)

But it may just be that they're spoiled by mysis and other better tasting stuff.
