Sucks to hear about your losses but glad to hear about the 'kickstart'
I've run across fish boredom with pellets before. In my case it's usually an indicator to buy a fresh container as I can't even use up a pair of 125 gram ones in a year - too many other foods
I keep it in the fridge but it doesn't last forever, and I feel it gets stale in the autofeeder

that is quite possible, I don't think my jar was open for more than 6 months but who knows. My concept of time is kind of out there these days. I have a new jar on the go now though, just cracked it open a few weeks ago. Frankly I think the little turd is just more interested in mysis. I used to feed it exclusively until about 6-12 months ago (again that time thing) when I just found I didn't have the time for it and it was so much easier to just chuck some pellet in. All the rest of the fish are fat and happy and now thanks to the 2-3x daily mysis feedings are looking quite portly

the other pics I was going to upload. They ain't the prettiest but I had about 5 mins before my youngest came downstairs to find me (again, there is just no escaping that kid

).

Back in March my 4 year old squamosa was having issues and I realized it had a broken hinge. TimT suggested I doctor it up with a piece of velcro and he's still going strong (yay!).

Your tank looks way nicer than mine these days! So at least there's that.

And actually, I can't stop looking at that squamosa. It's looking great, nice and open, good colours..

It is pretty happy these days, hopefully it can keep growing without any more "surgeries" or replacement of that velcro
