I'm posting this in hopes of maybe some suggestions, and possibly a solution to my on going issue.
I have stored my frozen fish food in the packages I get them in, in paper bags stored in plastic bags, stored them in freezer safe bags, and freezer safe plastic bowls.
No matter what I have done, I cannot get the fish food to NOT crystallize.
When this happens, it usually means the product is thawing, and then refreezing. The freezer is never left cracked open, and im not in the freezer much at all, except for when it comes time to thawing and preparing for feeding time.
Even my blister packs of frozen food are crystallized.
I feed my fish LRS, as well as chopped muscles, and scallops to the nem/serpentine sea star. Occassionally I will feed frozen mysis (blister pack). Just to let you know what I'm doing
I realize I only have 11 fish and it takes me a long time to ever go through a pack of food, but I can't see how a few months or more would cause the food to spoil or crystallize, as I have mentioned.
Today I bought a glass bowl that has a rubber gasket built in for storing in the freezer. I'm hoping that will work.
Until I see how it handles the next week or two......Can anyone tell me why this is happening or maybe offer a suggestion to avoid this? Feeding the fish more food, more often, is NOT an option
