 Fish Food Hi Everyone, Drfosters is having a pretty big sale on fish food, I was wondering if anyone knew the shelf life on most of these foods...like prime reef, formula 1 and 2, etc. Please give your input asap! Thanks Dan  |

| Re: Fish Food They have a pretty good shelf life, if you keep them in the freezer or fridge, they stay fresh for a while.... |

| Re: Fish Food Dan, I keep my flake in the freezer, seems to work well for me, I dumped my formula 1, forumla 2 and prime reef into an old large size formula 2 container, shook it up and now I have a nice mix of the flake food  Planktons all a matter of choice, the kent marine stuff in the small dropper bottle is nice... |

| Re: Fish Food That is a good idea, I should do that. I only have a firefish goby however..would that be a good mix for him? Right now all I feed him is prime reef... Thanks for the input Krazy K...much appreciated! Dan |

Try feeding the firefish one of the three daily and see if it'll eat all 3, if it does the mix will work out for ya I did it so my fish could have a mix, somedays I feed flake twice a day and others I make up the frozen batch for them and just feed once heavy in the evening just before the halides go off. |

any of the 3 planktons in the dripper bottles are pretty descent, I've got all three, once and a while I use them, I've got so many different things, LOL I've been trying to just stick with my reef nutrition stuff lately As for frozen foods : PE mysis, hikari mysis, brine with spinulara, krill, clam/squid, home made mix with cuttlefish, scallops, shrimp... |
