Hi DrCase, I'm glad to hear to it's not just me. Bad planning on my part. One thing I try not to do is have to much of one type of food for my pond fish, because I hate like the dickens to throw fish food away. I know Tetra products that I buy don't seem to have a experation date, but I wont' feed my fish food that has been opened (seal broken), from last season.

Happy ponding,

I vacuum seal my food if I have seasonal left overs.

Great idea! I bought a large supply of fall- spring food last year when we had a lot of fish and then we had a lot of them die and got rid of gold fish. I will break out the vaccum sealer!

I have the Food Saver vacuum. If this is what you have don't due it in auto. I did that and about 1 out of 4 bags leaked. The edges of the food put pin hole in the bag;
I do it manually and stop and seal before it gets to that point.

I use Gaterade bottles to put my food in the day the bag is opened. That way, it all stays fresh. Since I also offer food to my Koi customers, it goes fast and is always fresh.

I like the idea of the gatorade bottle. Getting ready to need some more food myself...
