Dried pellets/food kept in fridge/freezer?

[EvolutionZ]

hi guys, met a friendly bro today at c328. i remember him saying something like to prevent those pellet food(e.g. tetrabits or NLS pellet food) from growing fungus.. its best to keep in freezer or fridge..
was wonder if its true? i just got a big bottle of NLS(new life spectrum) food for my apisto.. won't want the whole bottle to go fungus after a few weeks/months. so was it true that keeping in fridge or freezer will keep the food from growing fungus? or keeping in a cool room temperature room is good enough?
thanks

make sure you don't touch your food with damp/wet hands and cover your food properly (screw it tight) after use and you should be fine

Suggest you use an empty container and pour enough quantity to last you a couple months and then keep the remaining portion in a cupboard away from sunlight. This is how I store my fish food. Each time I need more, I take again from the original container. I reduce the amount of time I open the original container to about 4 times before I use up all the food.

thanks guys for your advice, i pack a small pack of the pellets in a ziplock bag and put the rest of the pellets in the bottle tightly screwd. hopefully i dun see any fungus

I store my pellets in the fridge (not freezer).

What I do is like what zyblack suggested, pour a bit into another container, and keep the rest in the fridge.

I store in freezer. Alternative is to simply split into many smaller containers. Else, ziplock bags works too.

Having a seperate 'feeding container' also allows you to easily mix some of the better stuff into the more staple stuff you feed your fishes.

okay.. noted.. will do so and keep the rest in the fridge.
