G'day all.
I am about 90% sure that my queen is from the genus iridomyrmex and I was thinking about formicariums to house her when she grows to an adequate size. So i'm going to buy my formicarium off the AntsCanada store, thats definately happening. I was wondering which hybrid nest would be best for my iridomyrmex queen. Now, I know there's gonna be some person that tells me to buy the omni nest, but I dont want that. I feel the hybrid nest is sleeker and more convenient for my ant keeping space. So which HYBRID nest would be best for an iridomyrmex species?

You will definitely want Myrmica or Pogo.

Hmm, what makes you think that?? Iridomyrmex usually like small spaces, not the spacious ones like Myrmica.
Solenopsis or Pogo might be okay, yes.

From my experience they nest in big chambers with wide tinnels (My friend in australia gives them a natural nest and I saw them one time)
