I bought some pellets for flowerhorn about 6 months ago 550 g grand sumo and red. The red top was fine but the regular had a crack in the top it was still sealed fine but I’m sure air could get into it more so than the not cracked one the fish still eat it fine and it doesn’t look or smell any different than when I bought it I just want to make sure that it would still be nutritious for the fish.
Pellets going bad question

Pour a small amount of pellets into a smaller container so you're not opening the big container daily.
This happens if you open your food packet daily specially large one's. Fill those pellets into a small container or box. Instead feeding daily from that large packet.

In the warm & humid temps of Malaysia, I would toss it, even if it was a sealed unopened container. You can give it the sniff test to determine if it has become rancid, but personally I wouldn't bother. There will be nutrient loss either way.
