i have finally got another culture producing after 3 attempts.i had assumed it would be easy cause i had the last one going for over 2 years -no problems.tried twice back in the winter with organic potting soil(could'nt find anything else in the off season) and it just does'nt work well.they really seem to do best in cheap old hyponex(1.99 a bag i think) i've already had a nice gold pair of rams spawn that i got at the aca from eric bodrock.i know its the worms and am looking forward to the larger spawns i got before.i talked to Ron Coleman at the aca about it again and he said they have verified it definitively that diet plays a very important role in spawn size but negligible or no affect on egg size.i can't help but think that the fry are hardier as well when the female is on a really high quality diet.blackworms(they scare me anyway) and other live food just was'nt getting the job done for me.i noticed one of my yellow gold/orange cac females staying in her cave and also one of my macmasteri females.
