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

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.

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

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

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.
