Not great to be honest mate, i have the condition perfect now but i think things had gone to far, hardly any fungus left now.Andrew is going to send me some fungus next week which will hopefully sort the problem(depending on how things go over the next couple of days) The queen didnt look very healthy on Friday but seems her old self now.

As a case in point, Ricc on here had a colony of Acromyrmex and it died. He then put all of his experience from that failure into an Atta and it has exploded. Ricc has turned into a vegetable ( :| ) because he apparently stares at the ants all day in a near hypnotic trance. At least thats what he tells us is the problem with his posts!
