Could not find my frozen bag of brine shrimp this afternoon. Long story short, found it in the garbage ofcourse completely thawed. It was in the garbage approximately 24 hours. Now it probably was mush for about 18-19 hours I'm guessing with the time it had to thaw.

I flattened it out and put it back in freezer. Would you use it?

Well that's too bad then. Figured it may be good since frozen food shipped does occasionally thaw. Seems like the consensus.

no. it decomposes very quickly. I would not even want it in my freezer, much less my tank!

Much cheaper to replace food than deal with a dead tank.

The manufacturer says if it has been above 45 degrees for 2 hours, and there are no ice crystals present-to discard. If it is icy still and below 45 then it can be refrozen.
