Seaweed sheets

[ineke]

my shrimp are quite fussy eaters and refuse most commercial foods except for snow. Today I bought some dried seaweed sheets like they use in sushi rolls. I put it straight into the tank just cutting it to size and weighed it down with bulldog clips. Most of the tanks went straight for it which is an unusual event with my shrimp and they are continuing to graze on it. I believe seaweed is very nutritious so here is another natural food for our shrimp. Should be available in most supermarkets

Where did you buy them?

I got them in Coles they are Nori sheets. Cost $3.95 I think and should last quite a while. It goes soft very quickly but holds its shape. I think I will siphon it out in the morning if any left. The shrimp are still on it after 3 hours even the babies. I haven't looked at the nutrients but from memory seaweed is very beneficial to us so should be good for the shrimp

Great find Ineke, I frequently make sushi, and always have a few packs of Nori sheets on hand.  10 sheets for $4 works out to be a cheap additional food.

 

When you say "bulldog clips" are you referring to the metal type

I managed to find some plastic ones but if you cut the nori sheet small enough you probably won't need one I think it sinks once it's wet . I used a small square but that need a weight initially anyway.

Interesting, might have to give this a try too one day.

If my shrimp like something it must be good!!!
