Seaweed

[MarkW19]

What type of seaweed should I get to feed my hermit crabs and fish?

Purple, green or red?

the green stuff is fine, its probably cheaper and easier to obtain too. i feed my fish nori (the stuff the japanese wrap sushi in, its just sheets of green seaweed), which you can buy at asian marketplaces for a lot cheaper than the seaweed marketed for fish.

HTH

I can't find any Nori here in the UK

yall dont eat sushi over there??? man i dont know what id do without it!!! sorry i couldnt help then

but regular green is just fine two little fishes makes a good brand, if you cant find it locally you can probably order it online. good luck!

how long to you keep it in the water before takeing it out?

 

[MarkW19]

A couple of days I guess? Not sure though! Anyone?

i take mine out in the morning and put new stuff in. so it is only in there for 24 hours but i think that might be too long becasue when i wake up it is already falling apart.

you really shouldnt be putting in more than your fish will eat in a couple hours, otherwise, like WarOrks15 said, it falls apart, and your fish wont be grazing it during the dark hours anyway.
