    All of them do! Now the question is what is healthier, the seaweed or romaine lettuce, or switch back and forth between the two??

    Thanks. I think it will save me money in the long run too, b/c the lettuce always goes bad before they eat it all and the seaweed is dried! By the way cool fish, what are they? My LFS has some of those on display, but not for sale and I always wondered.

    It called a Ranchu (more precisely a Side View Ranchu) a type of goldfish
    They're Oriental breed not real common in the U.S.
