I bought a stupid number of bags in a group order a long time ago that I haven't finished. Fish still eat it like crazy. My rule of thumb though, I thaw it in a container of tap water which leads to a quick rinse before feeding and anything that looks off or floats doesn't make it into the tank.

Make sure you seal the package air tight when you put it back in the freeze. I noticed my fish dont like the older stuff if it has freezer burn.

Picky fishes!!

i have a lockable tupperware style container in the freezer. air tight and no freezer burn.

I still notice a difference in the feeding response when I crack a new package though...

Anything funky in your freezer that might have made the smell unattractive to your tank?
