I have been feeding my clownfish pair flake foods, and today I noticed small little bugs inside the fish food container and on the flakes itself. Did some research and it might be flour mites according to other forums. My clownfish probably has been eating the bugs for about two weeks now since that was when I felt a change in texture of the food. Should I keep using the food? they don't seem to be bothered. Or should I buy a new one.

Likely meal worms
Refrigerate the flakes. Like moisture got into food why it acquired worms which are edible
