Fresh Food Shelf Life?

[metweezer]

How long will fresh food from the LFS keep in a refrigerator?

I would think that 4-5 days max. If you wouldn't eat it, then chances are it won't be good for the fish either.
What type of "fresh food" ? Greens maybe longer. Seafood, absolutely 4-5 days max.

I remember I had an old tank in 2003 and we took it down. We kept the frozen food. 4 years later, we tried on the fish because there was no experation date. My fish seemed to love it!

Let your nose tell you. There is a big difference between "good fishy" and "rotten fishy". BTW, what type of fresh food does your lfs sell?

I guess I should have said "live" food instead of "fresh" food. I don't really know what my LFS's sell as I have been using pellet and frozen. My newly aquired 6 line dosen't seem to like pellet and I have been feeding him frozen mysis. So, since I only have 3 fish in my DT and the 6 line in my QT, I don't want to buy so much food that I will have to throw it away if the live food only lasts a few days.
