Here is my first formicarium.
It is made by 2 acrylic containers, they are a vodafone (phone company) mobile containers,that I got free. Inside one of them there is a ytong block in which I made same chambers, to be the nest. The other container it will be used as out world. They are linked by a tube.
I hope the formicarium is nice :D
The ants will arrive this week.
Very nice dude, jus make sure the substrate in the outworld remains very dry otherwise they will build a nest in there too...
uh... I didnt thougth in that :grin: I am going do let it dry lol
Don't forget to use some gliding material. To prefent ants from escaping when you feed them. (something like PTFE)
the ants have arrived. And I already putted the anti scape liquid :D
What ants are they?
I think you will find that they won't live in the ytong. Instead they will move into the soil behind the ytong block. You will have to make it moist to water the ytong. I think it would be better to remove all the soil.
lol damon.. seems im agreeing with you a lot today.. Yes i think too they might nest in that soil.. as it would be damp.. My Pheidole pallidula did the same thing..

I agree.
Another option is to separate Y-tong from the soil with glass and silicon.
You can use tea spoon to sculpture in Y-tong. Chambers will be rounder;)
First nest is always hard. ;) These are some nice tips for you in the future. (i made like 4 or 5 farms before i had a good one :) )
That looks sweet pal :)
I am a noob so I am interested in how you'll keep the nest moist?
Cheers :D
