Default Spirulina fish food

I did some research and thought all fish like spirulina.

Today, I bought a 20 gram (the smallest size) container of spirulina flakes made by Big Al's. They market it as "specially formulated for all types of aquarium fish".

The ingredients say: "spirulina meal, fish meal, wheat germ oil, oat flour, algae meal, kelp, carrot, fish liver meal, small river shrimp meal, various vitamins and minerals. Contains no artificial flavour and colouring."

"Guaranteed analysis: protein 45% min, crude fate 5%, crude fiber 10% max, moisture 8% max".



I tried feeding it today to my tetras and they wouldn't bite. So that sucks.
The only thing that eats it are the cherry shrimps, since they eat about anything. Also, the protein percentage seems really high.

Anyone else with experience with feeding spirulina? What fish species did you feed it to successfully? Maybe I bought an old jar? Just noticed that there's no expiry date.
