Nori is the pressed sheets of seaweed used to wrap sushi. It can be found in Asian markets or the Ethnic section of most large grocery stores in among the oriental food

Nori is dried pressed seaweed. It's what you eat with sushi. You can find it at some groceries, oriental food markets, and all Japanese restaurants.
Even pet shops sell it, I think Julian markets it too (Three Little fishes).

Thanks... I'm trying hard to find some food for my pbt other than Artemia, krill and mussel.. The only green food he gets is the algae in the tank (there is nothing left anymore after he erradicated all my Caulerpa).. I've tried spinach and lettuce, but he won't touch it. I hope he will eat nori as I suspect it is about time he gets some green food...

My sailfin tang will greedily snatch strips of nori from my fingers and even stick his nose out to grab it just above the water.
I also apply a little Selcon to the nori to get him to take his vitamins

Hey guys,
Make them some sea food blender mush, using mostly nori. They will love you forever.

Hi Troels and welcome!

You can also look for spirulina flakes..available in most fish stores and frozen spirulina cubes. If you can find dried seaweeds locally, try mail order. I know www.petwhse.com has the seaweeds selects and julian sprungs veggies.

HTH-

Hey Jerel.... how do you feed mush to them? Just plop it in and let them go at it?

I just freeze it up in zip-locks. Thaw out a small piece, and feed it with a spoon. Start out with very small amounts, a little goes a long way.
