Probably should'nt start this but thought it would be an interesting thread.
what is your ideas on thawed fish food such as brine shrimp blood worms ect.
I thaw out my frozen cubes and keep in the fridge for 3 days and its gone larger food i thaw daily what do you guys do to keep your food fresh and what is considerd too long meaning when would bacteria start growing.
Hoping this thread can give some good ideas :thumbsup:
 
nutham, all i know is that i regularly leave thawed shrimp overnight in room temperature and they still smell fresh. I guess thats the key, as long as the food still smells fresh then it should be good to feed your fish.

I would not leave them out on the cupboard for three days but in the fridge should be fine.
 
I dont bother to completely thaw my food, I run it under the tap briefly so the outside is no longer frozen and then just throw it in, the fish gobble it down the same if its frozen or not :)

It might be different here in Aust with the warmer weather, but if I left something out at room temp over night, especially seafood, it would be well and truely off the next day :(
 
:iagree: Here in Brazil we have the same problem. ANYTHING left overnight at room temperature most probably won't be so good in the morning. Sometimes I keep thawed fish food in the fridge overnight, for 2 days at most, but I like to thaw only enough food to be used IMMEDIATELY.
BTW, I have used good-smelling food that the fishes didn't think it was good enough to be eaten a few times... ;)

Best regards.

i always defrost and feed and never keep anything but i would put it in the fridge if i needed too for at the most 1-2 days
