My starting Setup (test Tube)

[Steelbult]

This is my starter test tube i'm waiting until she has enough workers to move her to a formicarium.
What do you guys think is this a good test tube setup?
for a Lasius Niger colony

Yeah i don't wanne disturb the queen by placing food in the test tube and maby keep it as a temporary outworld until the colony is bigger and has moved out of the tube than they already use the route to get food and maby speeding up the use of the outworld that i'm going to make and replace the current small feeding outworld.

Looks really cool man!

As good as it looks, you may have a hard time getting them to move out

This formicarium i have order for them i will build the outworld myself but the formicarium i wanted to have a good nest for the moist level and against molt buildup and also a secure one too so best option was ordering one but the outworld i'm planning on making it of a small fish tank!

Great minds think alike.

I am buying the hybrid nest from AC, but I am building the outworld out of an old fish tank (pics below).





I will drill two holes in the back of the tank, and insert the tubing there, to look as if they are entering an actual hill. Going for a natural look.
