The Pond Boss conference was a success and I came home with the two 50# bags of Optimal BG feed that Optimal donated to the hurricane benefit auction.

Right after I ordered some from Esshup...... laugh

Hope my fish stay hungry for a couple more months.

I have found the fish food keeps good once weather turns cold (I store it outside at ambient temperatures in a shed) and I keep it in sealed plastic barrels. I have kept a few bags over winter and the next March when I started feeding again it smelled and felt fine and the fish ate it. I would not be comfortable storing it that long in hot weather, but during winter it works ok.


John, I've found the same thing, with one caveat: opened bags cannot be stored, even inside a trailer. Ants get to them every time. Such bags must be taken home to keep them ant-free. Of course, I don't have sealed plastic barrels...
