Freezing fish food

[Pugwinkle]

Since I got my fish I have bought many different types of food to give them a varied diet. I don't imagine these foods stay fresh forever once the seal has been broken so I'm wondering if I can freeze all these little jars of food and each day just give them some right out of the freezer? I have floating pellets, sinking shrimp pellets, flakes, algae wafers, etc. etc. Lots of food but not many fish LOL!

If you don't want to freez them, keep them at least in a refridgerator. Then take food for week or two to other cups and keep main cups in cold and closed.

If you put main cups to freezer, be sure that there is no moisture presents. If you aren't sure, if it is good idea to freeze them, put couple pellets, some flakes etc. to other jar and put that jar into your freezer. Take it out after day or two and watch what happens. If the food is still ok, then it will be ok to put them into freezer.

Freezing is not a problem.

One of the best investments for kitchen gadgets I've ever made is a vacuum sealer

I used those plastic bags that can be closedeasy. Although vacum sealer would be much better

I agree with all of the above, but the one thing that I would like to mention is that you throughly deforst the food before feeding it to your fish.
