I'd still feed the food once it has expired though...
Heaven forbid something bad happens over the South Pacific... The fish will still eat you, expired or not. (sad realty) GL. |

I believe as long as pellet or flake (dry food) kept dry and basically room temp it will last a very long time. I just finished using a 10 or so year old jar of NLS pellets and they were fine and my fish devoured them just as much as the newer jars that I have.

I agree with the dry food flake/pellets lasting a long time. Refrigerated food like reef nutrition, which is good for about 3-4 months from when it's bottled, I won't keep much past the expiry date.
