Seaweed for Yellow Tang

[Learning_The_Hard_Way]

Now that i have a yellow tang in the tank, I was wondering if the seaweed sheets at the local Asian store (Cheap) is the same as the fish food sheets? Looks the same to me and alot cheaper.  Anyone have any exspereince with this? any suggestions?

They taste the same

THe store bought ones have preservatives and other crap in them. Not sure if the fish kind does or not.

I use the ones from Wal-Mart.  Sushi party wrap I think.

+1 on sushi party. I have always heard to get the unflavored kind

I get mine at Cub Foods, but it's standard Roasted Seaweed Sushi Nori, 10 calories and no fat!!  For what's it's worth, I just read the package and there is only one ingredient: Roasted seaweed.

My tangs and lawnmower blenny love it.  Although I will say that when I first started it, i did add a couple drops of garlic oil from a garlic pill.  I don't do that at all any more and they eat it up quickly.

To serve, I cut (i.e., fold) a sheet in half.  Put it on a plate and splash it with tank water, then I soak it for a few seconds until it is soft all over.  I then fold it in half lengthwise, then again, and finally a third time.  I place it on a clip in my tank. 

I used to have a suction cup clip stuck to the side, but my snails kept eating all the seaweed.  So, I put a plastic tie across my middle brace and hooked the clip to it.  Try to position the seaweed out of direct water flow or it will tear up the seaweed.  Have fun.

another good way is  rubber band it to a old shell and it can sit at the bottom of the tank.

I stick it between my mag float.  I have a smaller one that I glued a clip to and use that as well.
