I would like to keep a culture of Paramecium caudatum going for a while. does anyone know the best or easiest way to keep these guys multiplying and happy?

Culture a paramecium ? Difficult but I've included a few tips.

You can't fail with a little classical music - Goldberg variations perhaps, something modest but with depth like a bottle of Chateauneuf de Pape, and maybe some foie gra or caviar for starters. Good luck.
