Hey I was wondering if I should move my Tetramorium ant species in a formicariam yet or wait until they get bigger?
Here is the colony

I can’t see them very well but I think wait a half week then attach a VERY small nest that they can expand.

Nice colony. 8-)

I'd just attach them to an AC Test Tube Portal, and as they keep growing add more test tubes, and once they've out grown that move them into a formicarium. You don't have to do this, you could do like RubyAntKeeper77 said, but from my experience this works really well.
