Tangs, angelfish, and other grazing marine fish spend much of their natural feeding time on algae, and a tank without that constant grazing surface needs a substitute - Ocean Nutrition's seaweed sheets fill that role, with garlic extract added to entice picky eaters.
Why Grazing Fish Need Seaweed
Herbivorous and grazing marine fish evolved to feed almost continuously on algae throughout the day, and a diet built around pellets or flakes alone can leave that natural grazing instinct unmet - a clipped seaweed sheet gives them something to work on.
Choosing a Color
- Green Marine Algae - a natural seaweed sheet for herbivorous marine fish that graze on algae in the wild, including tangs, rabbitfish, and marine angelfish.
- Red Marine Algae - formulated for grazing and sponge-eating marine fish, including butterflyfish, moorish idols, parrotfish, and wrasse.
Feeding Tips
- Clip sheets to the glass using a magnetic or suction-cup seaweed clip rather than letting them float loose.
- Choose based on your specific grazers - some species show a preference between green and red algae types.
- Leave sheets available for extended grazing rather than removing them quickly, since natural grazing happens gradually throughout the day.
Ocean Nutrition seaweed sheets are available at Marine Concept Supply in both colors - order online or pick up at our shop in Wheeling, IL. Shop Green Marine Algae or Red Marine Algae, and browse more fish food & nutrition.
