Question about my ants
Why has my colony Of fire ants blocked up their water test tube with digging medium? https://photos.app.goo.gl/PrdoeUyEJDKeccbt6

Why keep ants that aren't found in your yard?
There are so many fascinating ants right where you live!
I disagree with the keeping/buying of ants that aren't in your area.

Re: Question about my ants
They actually have brood but not in there it's still visible though because it's nesting on the side of the tank I put tape there they're just blocking up the water

Do you see any activity inside the tube?

Re: Question about my ants
No its where there water is they live in a 20 gallon aquarium tank full of dirt
Re: Question about my ants
But there is a lot of humidity in the tank because when the soil gets dry I wet it and they're up in a window so it evaporates the water and makes it humid in there which is good for the fire ants they thrive in that that's how they have so much brood right now

I just discovered some alates in my ant colony I was watering the soil I gave him a little too much water and they all started coming out including the alates

Well, I'm not sure. They might just want to feel more safe while drinking out of it.

Re: Question about my ants
Update: sadly over my vacation the ant barrier was worn out and my ant colony evacuated their terrarium and they are gone now. But on the bright side I captured a queen of the same species who has already laid eggs
Re: Question about my ants
Now i have a free terrarium already set up for the new colony
