Here's another thought because I've been thinking of this as well.
WC BCC obviously do not tolerate stress as well as CBB
BCC, and perhaps are less tolerant of temps that differ from their native environment.
I believe F1
BCC from
WC parents have similar issues. I have never had a
BCC that was not
WC or F1 of
WC give back a meal. Also, Peru
BCC do not seem to have any issues. The Iquitos locale seem to grow faster and bigger than
BCI.
