so my questions are

A: could i keep an ant lion in the basin without it really harming the colonie, like a natural balance?

B: i live in Belgium so would it be possible to buy one somewhere? and get it here

i like the idea of keeping a growing colonie on a balance with one of those they look awsome
anyone got any info?
always welcome
olly

I don't think you will be able to buy an antlion.

Even if you did, the question of whether it would keep numbers stable would depend on the size of the colony. Big colonies produce more new ants than small colonies.
