Where do you guys get Nori

[Seanybaggs123]

Hello,

I would think this would be simple, but after searching for Nori yesterday I found that it wasn't...

Do you just buy it from the grocery store? Should I be looking for specific ingredients? etc...

Go to any Asian Aisles, or any Asian Grocery store, look for Nori in the Sushi to Noodle aisle.
What you want to look for is plain Nori, no preservatives, least amount or no Sodium. They can be roasted or pressed, air dried.
You will find them in packages from 10 to 50.
When I feed Nori, 2 hours before, I keep a misting bottle, bought from a flower shop, I spray the Nori very lightly with RODI water mixed with any branded vitamin, fold and feed the fish.
Hope this helps.

Tremendous Help!

Probably feed something like a 1/4 sheet or less for a lawnmower blenny?

I’m sure you can order it online. I’d go for a Japanese brand. Be sure to get one that doesn’t have salt and flavorings added. Typically, the good stuff comes in large sheets and the processed junk comes in small sheets half the size of an envelope.

BRS now carries a brand, I shopped and shopped and that’s the best deal I found. Also the protein it contains compared to others is higher...which is good.

LRS has it as well. Assume it’s high quality like their other food

I use this:

The seaweed that is advertised for aquariums are not inherently better than the one for human consumption (in fact food for humans are regulated much more than food for pets) from the grocery stores. Nearly all laver (the seaweed in question) is produced in East Asia... now if you want a really tasty one I'd say you'd have to go to Asia for very freshly made sheets. I can't say I've ever found the ones in packages available in America is as good as the freshly made stuff they have in some markets in Korea. Otherwise, just do what ScottR and Nadir says because there's no point in being up-charged for this type of stuff.

Yes, on the "or less." You can judge by how quickly it gets eaten. My nori is usually gone in 10 min. but sometimes lasts as much as 30 min.

I get my sheets at the Local Grocery store. Fry’s/kroger, asian isle. No need to over think it. I peal a peice off 1/4” sheet, fold it over, put it in the clip dry and put it in the tank. Within seconds my tang and fox face are ravaging it.

Is nori really that much better than seaweed salad algae sheets I get at the fish store for 9 bucks?

 

[Chefwheredyougo]

My petsmart and petco both carry it for like 8 bucks

Nori is just the Japanese word for laver seaweed... so basically it's the same thing. Basically for fish you want it unseasoned though, check the ingredients.

Just says Natural dried seaweed (Porphyra yezoensis)

That is definitely laver, which is nori. If that is the only ingredient, and it tastes unsalted and unoiled to you then you should be good to go for the fish.
