Yeah, I noticed that. But the problem with Carnatus Orbis is that due to this weird reproduction cycle (together with clustering of my veggies) the populations don't go in smooth cycles. Instead, they jump up and down in erratic unpredictable spikes. Very difficult to create a stable system....
Can you recommend any other good tie-feeders? They don't have to survive long periods of starvation, but they need to be pretty efficient.
