I guess they're actually Cichlid pellets.

I find myself coming on every day wishing this was updated. Best species in California. How much fungus is there now?
Yeah, and I'm wishing every day there was some major change to make an update about. I will say everything's going well and there is slow but steady growth.
Update 9-4-2014
The bucket didn't seem to have anything in it, so I dumped that one too.
At this point there are six queens with fungus growing, five of them pretty healthy gardens. For a while I thought I only had five left with growing fungus, but then suddenly a little clump of fungus started growing again in the sixth setup. I haven't fixed the other setups yet because I'm trying to leave the good ones alone for now. The original queen now has a pupa, and a few larvae, one of which is already starting to pupate as well. the first queen with donated fungus has about five larvae, and the other queens all have a good amount of eggs, with one queen having one small larva too. All fungus gardens are continuing to grow larger.
I recently added some pieces of sunflower petals given to me by Chromerust to their substrate mix. It looks like removing the containers of water from the foraging area has stopped that bluish-green mold from forming on the substrate so far.
Here's the original queen's fungus garden. You can see the pupa and the biggest larva in the center.
A close-up of the brand new pupa.
The only fungus pellet from the second nuptial flight that actually started growing has now withered away and died.
my acromyrmex queen got its first worker!
i actually don't have one.
Funny Alza.
i don't actually want one right now surprisingly
mhm
Bad fungus.

No, it's a common fungus from the desert.

Something about it is just really creepy and disgusting.
Yes, yes it is.
