Hi, everyone who made a formicarium themselfs please post a picture below so that everyone can gain some inspiration and give advice for how to improve a already made formicarium.

I'll start with some pictures myself:

I would have added more chambers, so the nest would last longer as the colony grows, but it looks fine.

Someone on the Dutch forum recommended that I made the nest that way, keep in mind that Solenopsis Fugax is a realy small ant.
