Fish flakes are not the best food you can give your ants. Much better would be small insects. To start off with.

Also as a colony grows, I've noticed they become less picky about food. My L. Niger wouldn't touch fish flakes in the beginning but after they topped well over 200 ants they'd take almost anything, including fish flakes. I'm noticing a similar behavious in my M. minor hespirius.
