Moving to a Hybrid Nest

Sorry if this is the wrong thread to post in. Wasn't sure if I should put this in the beginners page or the Hybrid Nest series but here goes.

I have a Monomorium Colonly that's about 7 weeks old now and have filled two chambers I made in two test tubes. Still small but over 50 workers for sure.

Judging by this picture, do you think I should move them in or hold off til they overwhelm their test tube setups?

They are most certainly fine to move in. Most people say to wait until you have 20-50 workers to move them in, so this should be fine.
