What is the expiration date for the micro pellets?

Usually about 1 to 2 years out.

what does semi floting mean??

It means that it will float for a few seconds, before getting saturated with water and sinking to the bottom. From my experience, they float for about 10-15 seconds before the vast majority of them sink to the bottom.

i have pellets for the fish i own, but they appear to be to big.. so could i use goldfish flakes for a mountain minnow?

Do u have these the micro pellets? Or the standard size? My neon tetras tends to nibble the micro pellets putting them in their mouth and spitting them out a few times before eating a whole micro pellet. I also suggest getting a tiny spoon (something like a 1/8th tsp)to measure out how much ur feeding especially If u are still seeing a lot of food at the bottom of the tank. Mountain minnows don’t get very big so a pinch of food depending on ur hands might be way to much. If u still don’t feel ur fish are eating yes you could use flakes. The reasons not to are they r extra messy and depending on ur set up ur fish might not come to the surface for them so they just get pulled directly into the filtration system. Best of luck
