Re: What other pets do you guys have?

They're illegal now in Manitoba, Canada but since I had it before the ban.... I own a Channa Bleheri, otherwise known as a Rainbow Snakehead. They're very invasive species as far as predatory fish go. They're is a Brissel-nosed Pleco in there too. A Ropefish and a Zebra Danoi that was a feeder fish....

Re: 'Tis the season of Formica (North America) Nuptial Flights

I'm in Winnipeg, Manitoba ( Canada ) and I can confirm that at the very least Camponotus are flying about. I've caught 7 so far from just walking around at work.

Re: Camponotus Egg Development?

I've had my Camponotus queen for a month, and she laid her first eggs two weeks ago. The only thing I give her is honey water. She'll drink from it and than go right back to her eggs. I keep my queen in a room that is at 78 degrees. You can always get a heat cable if you want, just don't over heat t...

Re: Brood Boosting?

Vertical Formicarium ( Small )

I've always wanted an ant farm. I remember as a young child seeing my first ant farm in a movie. It was huge, bunch of dirt between two sheets of glass with all these tunnels. It fascinated me greatly. I asked my parents for one and they both said no ( bugs in the house and all ). Thankfully with ad...
