Caryl Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 I was told that fish food starts losing nutritional value once the packet has been opened to air so you are better buying smaller containers that you would use within 3 months. Was the food in its original container or had it been a larger one split into bags? If repackaged, I think it is safe to use (unless it smells odd) but may not not nutritionally as satisfactory. If you are breeding fish or raising young ones I suggest you use fresher food. My goldfish are eating from a container I was using last year but they are in a pond and getting live foods as well. Of course, what I was told may be total rubbish but it makes sense to me :dunno: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will throw out what I have and buy some more this week I found some other bottom feeder stuff too but thats a few years old I had a big lot of it I will go back to buying small ones at least if you buy a few small containers you can open them when the other one is done and it will still be fresh aye and no the food was in freezer bags Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
