Freshness of tuna after the canned is open?
I love to eat tuna fish sandwiches and I make large amounts cause my husband loves it too. If I store it in a glass bowl with a tight lid and place it in the fridge how long does it stay good? My mother always said once you open a can, eat it then and dont save it cause it could kill you or make you seriously sick if you eat it past its time. Yet she never told me nor does she know when the "time" is. I usually just throw it away after a day.

I don't know where your mom got the idea that opened canned tuna can kill you, immediately.
You can keep canned tuna the way you store it for at least a day or two. Acutally even longer, but for me it starts stinking up the fridge.
If you ever, eaten at a sandwich shop. They use big commercial size cans of tuna which is usually made into tuna salad and used throughout the week.
Keep the tuna covered with a tight lid (which you already do) and you'll be fine.
