    where can i buy sea kelp?

    my fish seem to love it but what i buy in the pet store these frozen gumballs theyre too small for my discus, i was wondering if i could buy it unchopped and chop it up myself, it would be perfect, but where? what type of store?

    If you have an asian grocery store near you, you might enquire there.

    I believe they use sheets of kelp or seaweed to wrap sushi, so you could chop to a size to suit your fish. I may be wrong here, but I think you can either buy it fresh, or in dried sheets which you soak in water before use.
    Thirty-five years keeping and breeding discus, and I'm still learning :P

    The Omega One Kelp flakes & pellets are quite good as well, or as Red has suggested, most Asian grocery stores and even most major supermarkets should have kelp sheets.

    i just know that vegetables in general are healthy and since my discus mainly eat just meaty foods like heart or bloodworms, i figure if they eat these vegetables, it must be important for variety...

    thx LR, i know one asian store they should have it....
