What type of dried seaweed should I use??

[vessxpress1]

I can't get my fish to eat seaweed off the clip. I've got a Coral Beauty and a Lawnmower blenny I'm trying to get fattened up. The CB just cruises around the tank nipping at the rocks and ignores the clip.

The LM blenny will swim over and sit on the clip but it's never made an attempt to eat the seaweed. It only eats the algae in the tank.

So far, I've only tried Julian Sprung's Sea Veggies. The purple seaweed type. It looks like it should be really good for the fish to eat it (high in vitamins) but they won't. I've tried many times and I've never gotten a fish to eat off a clip in my tank.

What does everybody else use?

I just used nori sheets from the oriental foods section at the supermarket but the sprung stuff is probably better.

I too had trouble getting the fish to eat from the clip. I solved that by getting some selcon. It has a smell that drives fish crazy.

Just rub some on the algae sheet before you put it in the tank let
It soak in a little bit after you use it a couple times the fish will eat the nori sheets without the selcon added.

I still used the selcon once a week or so it has vitamins in it.

One other thing I should tell you my tang and rabbit fish at off the clip.

My gobies were the only other fish that ate the algae sheets but they would wait for small chunks ,created by the tang and rabbit eating, that they would pluck from the water.

I would think your coral beauty would eat from a clip but Iv'e never had that fish or the lawnmower blenny. Still recomend trying the selcon .
