it usually says on the packet up to 2 days, and I'd go with that because after that it starts to go hard as the air gets to it

I usually just change the water everyday-- Put a bit of salt in the water and keep your mozz covered. It will probably stay fine for several days.

Treat it the same way you would fresh fish. Just don't freeze it.
