Just double checking because it’s not what I usually get from my LFS. Thanks D3911F76-44F9-4A10-BD2B-FF07C859FF4D.jpeg

Most nori for human consumption does fine for fish. I'd say this is more than fine. One difference between nori for fish consumption vs human consumption is that the fish products generally stay together better and have garlic and/or other nutritional "additives" allegedly for fish nutrition. If these don't completely fall apart and blow up in your tank, I'd say continue to feed if they're a good deal. I used to feed all of my tangs nori from the grocery store.

But won't some of the nori from grocery stores have some sort of oil in them that can affect the water?

Theoretically the organic product above would not. I never noticed any negative side effects from my "regular" sushi nori (Kroger brand).

Yes, this was from a natural food store and ingredients say organic natural seaweed. I’ve been really happy with the Nori from Ocean Nutrition but I’m currently out. This would only be temporary food supplement.

That’s going to be better than ocean nutrition for sure. I’m still trying to figure out if ocean nutrition is just compressed gha & cyano lol. Everytime I feed their nori I get a small outbreak.

I've have been using Two Little Fishes nori which I usually buy the bulk supply. I'm okay with Ocean Nutrition, but usually buy Two Little Fishes because of the bulk that they sell, 10oz. for $35 during some holidays where online sites have 10% off.

Look in the back of the package. As long as it does not have anything else in it (like added flavor, etc.), then it's good to feed.
LOL "Organic", isn't all seaweed harvest from the ocean?
