Dwarf Red Tip Hermits

[chinapattern]

I ordered six of these before I went on holiday. They are brilliant. I had a slight hair algae problem and when I came back, it had all gone. I'm a bit worried now about whether they need extra food. If so, what can I give them?

I have never fed any of my hermits anything intentionally. Once all the eadible algae had gone they just scavenged for food around the tank.

I would have thought they should be OK polishing up the scraps of fish food etc and sifting through the detritus in the tank.

I'm not sure if they are veggies though. If they are you could try some postage stamp sized pieces of nori jammed under a rock in your view. That way you can see if they like it.

Macca should be able to tell you for definate when he comes on.

Cheers. BTW, where do you get nori from?

About £1 at Tesco.

Jenny - In the Scunny one its at the back of the shop next to the bread stand in the oriental foods.

and this is what you are looking for. Took me ages to find it in our Tesco mainly because I had no idea what to look for. So here it is:

Hi,

Try to get dried Nori, as the roasted nori has some of the goodness missing (because its been roasted.) ;)

Ahh now that's interesting, that's the only one that they had.

Any chance of a pic of the "real" sruff?

Ta,

Its hard to find Campbell, tend to only get the dried stuff in chinese supermarkets. It looks exactly the same just a bit greener.
