Tetramorium Immigrams Question

I have 2 Tetramorium Immigrams queens with workers and am trying to find out if I can put them both into a aquarium 10 gallon or if they will kill each other.

Also, how do you water your aquarium to keep the moister level up. I just planned on watering a plant in one corner once a week so there will be a damp side and dry side.

Tetramorium are very territorial and will attack other colonies of the same species.

Regularly watering a dirt tank will work. You can also poke holes in the bottom of a plastic bottle, put one or two BBQ skewers through it, fill the bottle partway with sand, and fill the bottom of the tank (until just over the holes and skewers) with plaster to create a reservoir.
If you enjoy my expertise and identifications, please do not put wild populations at risk of disease by releasing pet colonies. We are responsible to give our pets the best care we can manage for the rest of their lives.
