![]() Just wondering how long you use pellets after you have opened the jar? I have New Life Spectrum and there is no indication on the jar of a "discard time after opening" not like the Formula One pellets (I think it says to discard them after being opened for 6 months).

![]() I buy the 2220G/80oz pails of NLS which lasts about 3-4 months never had a problem with it going bad. Sometimes I will buy 2-3 pails depending on the deal I get, then I throw them in the freezer never had a problem

![]() Okay, you obviously have many more fish than I do. I only have two clowns and the smallest container I could buy of NLS (I think 3 oz) and have had it open 6 months or more. As it isn't the only thing I feed it is still 1/2 full. They are starting to spit it out so I think I will get a new container and see how they like it. I never thought of freezing it so I will give that a try. Thanks for the tip!!!

![]() The amount of nutrient loss in 6 months time would depend entirely on how they are stored.
If stored in a cool, dry, dark environment, the overall nutrient loss would be minimal, and there is certainly no reason to be tossing them out. |
