Hade: Lasius Niger Ant Fights? (21. Feb 2006 18:59)

I was just wondering about Lasius Niger ants.
What will happen if I put two seperate colonies together? will they fight?
What about if I put them with a colony of Lasius Flavus?
Thanks

@ Hade
Im sure that they will fight. Because
I have seen a colonie Lasius flavus figthing again a colonie Lasius niger outside my hous. At the end, it was between 2 or 3 weeks, only the colonie Lasius niger was still there.

Hi hade where i live i have seen lasius niger and flavus living together but i think its because both queens shared the same brood cell after the marriage flight. Seperate colonys even of the same species of the lasius can be extremally aggresive so i would suggest its not a good move.greetings ADAM :cya:

Thanks for the info guys.
Looks like I'll keep to the single colony then!
