Can I use human seaweed for my fish

[wingster]

I make a lot of Miso soup and I use Wakame seaweed for this (amazon.com/Emerald-Cove-Silver-Seaweed-1-76-Ounce/dp/B00121884G/) Since there is always plenty left in the packs could I use that to feed whatever likes seaweed in my aquarium? It is a lot cheaper than seaweed from a pet store - almost a quarter ($3.50/oz) and ships free. If I can use this it would be awesome :)
TIA,
Birgit

I think can. Just make sure there is absolutely no seasoning or what so ever on it

That’s my understanding as well. As long as it is unseasoned it should be okay

Most definitely you can use it. I visit my local Oriental market and purchase different varieties...as stated, that are pure Nori....no spices. Not sure if they are national, but H-Mart is my favorite market...very clean and a large selection.

My fish love store bought nori....pure nori though

I grow numerous red macro algae’s that are people edible. I often use them in crevices.

Human seaweed!!! I always make sure that my seaweed is 100% vegan!

By the way, I buy packs of Nori meant for Sushi on Amazon, it’s much fresher than the aquarium stuff and a lot less expensive as well. The fish love it. I buy organic unseasoned.

I have a tank with lots of baby macros. I rather have the "creatures" () nibble on what I offer than the "plants"

I've never fed any seaweed except nori advertised for sushi. The only thing I look for is that it is dried vs roasted.

I use Dulse. It's far less processed than nori. Whole foods sells it, but it can be cheaper in bulk online.

I buy the Ocean's Halo sushi nori from Walmart all the time. I eat it and share with the tangs. Fractional cost of stuff from pet stores.

If it's free of spices and other processing products I don't see any issue. I feed my Lettered Olive Snail pieces of fresh jumbo gulf shrimp purchased at my grocery.

I have been using kelp granules. I like that they can go into an autofeeder. They float though so ideally want a ring for them to fall into.

I prefer the meat variety, beef flavor is the best.

I fed tangs years ago with nori for rapping around sushi . Tangs loved it and it was cheap

I do buy nori in Bulk from Asian grocery . And buy salmon , cod , shrimp, squid, from my local grocery store . Also buy frozen blue crab for my Zebra eel .also feed seaweed extreme for my tang and Omega One algae pellets . Will look into the kelp pellets

I see in chewy .com they have a 5 lb kelp pellets used for horse feed . Now I can go get some rabbit fish . They are forever hungry and always underfed , I bought three juveniles ages ago and they ate pellets galore . i Would go. Thru the small cans of pellets quickly . They weren’t even adult size 10to 12inches . 5lb bag may sound like a lot but for them not at all
