Others more knowledgeable on the nutrient content/metabolic process etc can explain it better than I. The pellets you are feeding are designed to get quick growth in young fish without regard to the long term health consequences. In high temperature areas, perhaps the pellets are O.K. for fish under 2 years of age when supplemented with the seaweed, but I'd be leery of it even in such high growth situation. That type pellet is cheap, but that's about all it has going for it. If price is the determinative factor for you, then there is one pellet available from Aquatic EcoSystems that I'd suggest you consider instead ... Azoo brand pellets from Taiwan. If acquired on sale, you get so much that you better have refrigerated/freezer storage or it will be degraded before you use it all. On some bags the ingredients are only in Chinese, but sometimes also in English.
As for feeding seaweeds ... if they eat it, sounds good to me. If you are going to stick with food fish pellets, then I'd suggest you increase the vegetable variety & content of the diet.
