snookie Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 Would it be ok to feed nori to freshwater fish as part of a green diet ?? Nori =sushi seaweed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirio Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 I reckon it'll be fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ally07 Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 Ermm... I really don't think it's a good idea. Nori has all sorts of preservatives in it which might not be so good for the fish. I've seen proper seaweed for marine/ freshwater fish at HFF, you might want to consider those..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snookie Posted February 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 i always thought it was just dried seaweed , I cant read japanese Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen proper seaweed for marine/ freshwater fish at HFF, you might want to consider those..? The preservative is drying. It's fine. People with marine tanks feed it to their fish all the time. I've seen stuff at the fish store that's identical down to the size of the slices and the bag theyre in to what you can get at New world but for 10 times the price.

livingart Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 we could do 3 pages of discussing the pro and cons throw in a bit of conjecture and disagreement tending towards the personal then 6 or 7 offtopic comments that lead to half the thread being removed or we could just say yes :sage: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snookie Posted February 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 i was sort of concerned about the salt content , but will try it with my uaru i guess , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingart Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 very good hadn't thought of that :facepalm: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 i was sort of concerned about the salt content , but will try it with my uaru i guess , Any salt would be washed away before processing. Check the sodium content on the package, probably will say 0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David R Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 Could be worth a try if its cheap, but IMO feeding them a staple of something like Hikari Cichlid Excel would give them plenty of green matter they need. Feeding the nori could get quite messy as with things like that they tend to rip it to bits and half of it ends up floating around the tank (which is why I only fed cos lettuce the day before water change day). Just make sure they have some driftwood to nibble on too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snookie Posted February 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 i have driftwood :thup: , maybe use Nori as a treat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 The Yaki Nori I have in my cupboard says 1,700 mg of sodium per 100 g of serving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophia Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 each piece likely only weighs 5g or less though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamC Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 A very very rough calculation puts this as 17x the amount of sodium recommended when adding tonic salt to a fresh water aquarium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 A very very rough calculation puts this as 17x the amount of sodium recommended when adding tonic salt to a fresh water aquarium. Which would be relevant if you were going to fill the tank solid with nori. But then there'd be no room left for water or the fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phoenix44 Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 It means that the fish might get hypertension from eating too much salt! Make sure you remind to tell my fish that. :slfg: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
