Is this fine to get to feed the tank?

About the un-roasted - will that be fine frozen? 50 sheets would last me a year at least.

Also will it fall apart in the water or hold its shape?

Read this specifically Hummaguys answer to nori roasted and un roasted.
No it won't break apart. I keep mine at room temp. In a ziplock.

Thanks for the link! Great write-up on why not to use garlic. But i did not see a lot of discussion on roasted vs unroasted. But the price isn't much more for unroasted so that is what I will get.

Thanks for posting that link; I don;t think I had read that before, and it was a great read!

Basically unroasted is in its natural state, so the Nori will retain all of its nutrition.

I have only been able to find roasted nori so far. I haven't tried an Asian specialty market yet. Where do you all get the unroasted kind?

Be careful of phosphates coming from food grade Nori. Not always but it is a possibility.
