Feeding Cleaner Crew

Post by Ajepalmer »

I have read that when introducing a large number of cleaning crew that they may be "too efficient" and may then starve. If this is the case, the remedy I recently found online was to put seaweed sheets. Are they talking about nori, or whatever it is called. Like those sushi wrap things? Those are cheap and I dont think it would be to bad to drop a sheet in for them while they breed.

Yea, nori is just as good as the stuff sold for fish specifically.

lol that is awesome. I have a little asian wife that loves sushi. I doubt she'll mind if I toss a little nori in my tank once in awhile :)

lol I didn't know they sold flavored nori also, but I'm scared what flavored seaweed could taste like....

No flavoring added. You should use normal unflavored. Sometimes they can come with sesame oil n stuff.
