    Been giving some of the tanks a Dis-Chem Gold Spirulina Tablet - say once a week. Fish love it but it does break apart rather quickly and tend to pollute the tank for a while till the filter sucks it all out.

    Is this bad for the fish / plants / tank ? I also give them Nori when I have some about - bit of a competition who enjoys a sheet more - me or the fish. :p

    I get them in flake form for the fish. Leave the big flakes for the Otos.
    Yup they eat spirulina

    Spirulina tabs are great for fish! Just make sure of WHAT all is added to those Spirulina tablets.

    Yeah, as long as it's the completely natural version of the product I'm lead to believe this is exactly what they would get to eat in nature as well.

    Many recipes for fish foods include Spirulina as well as other vitamin supplements.

    The bigger question is, where can you get it cheap?

    If someone could let me know what brand of Spirulina Tabs you are looking for, I could most probably organise a good price. I work in the pharmacy industry and have a good few contacts who should be able to source them for me.

    @Henk Hugo: LOL
    Nah, the industry that I am referring to is the legitimate pharmaceutical industry , not mind altering / out of body type.

    @Slojo: Yip, but can you imagine how they would breed? ROFL

    Yes, the prof's tabs are great and they are soft. I use the last crums and dust for the baby snails.
