My girlfriend's dad saw how many fish tanks we had and ordered us a pail of Aqueon flake food for Christmas. The ingredient list looks more comparable to Omega One rather than the Aqueon flakes I have seen in stores so I have decided to use it. I'm just wondering what I can do to keep it fresh for longer. Should I put it in the Garage for the winter to keep it fresh? Or am I just worrying for no reason? I have noticed that even normal sized fish flake food containers seem to lose their crispness after a certain amount of time.
