Algae Brands

Which algae brand does your fish eat? I am trying them all.. My fish seem to devour the Rod's red.. But the others they just kind of ignore.. Weird.

 

Some fish loved the red some didnt. I used the lrs and the Caribbean blue tang just devoured it.

 

I tried some LRS and didnt really show interest. I am adding them all again one each day. The red Sea Veggies I swapped right after they were picking at the red Rod's.. They completely ignored it.. I guess I thought they all used pretty much the same kinds.. Figured red algae in one is the same as in another.

 

I use sushi nori from the asian grocery store 100 sheets for $6.99

 

Do they seem to devour it Donnie?

 

Oh yeah its gone in about 5 min

 

Nice.. Which brand are you buying?

 

Lights are going out but I rubber band it to a pvc pipe then hang it in the tank with fishing line

 

Its in chinese lol but its a green package

 

But I do mix it up by adding brown and red algae. Ive been starting to feed algae sheets around 9pm when my Formosa, red coris, and elegant wrasses go to bed cause they generally tear it up in little pieces.

I also feed new era algae grazers that I stocked up on when they were bought out. I feed those daily

 

So they sell unseasoned raw red? I need to hunt that down

 

The red and brown is omega one brand found a good deal on amazon

 

what store? is it the double dragon place?

 

Yes it is

 

Is that the purple seaweed Bud?

 

The Asian store on 100th (North of Hickman) carries 100 sheet packs of dried (unroasted, unseasoned) purple for $17. Our fish prefer it to the green which is cheaper as Donny noted. High maintenance fish.

@Turbo's Aquatics what is pricing on LRS purple in 100 sheets?

 

I use this.
Green Sea Veggies Seaweed Sheets - Two Little Fishies

 

Has anyone seen Red Unseasoned, Unroasted at an asian market? Cedar Rapids has a couple of small ones but I have only seen the green.
