Can anyone tell me a succesful way of keeping a colony of aphids for my ants to farm? Ive heard of using a cactus as a suculant for them, has anyone tried this?

Yes I think that might work. I can always see aphids on my dad's cactus. Like lots of aphids.... May dad always kill them.

Try culturing Pea aphids which you can obtain in the UK Hyperlinks sind nur für registrierte Nutzer sichtbar They are bred for live foods, mainly dart frogs but could be used with ants perhaps.

thanks for the reply's, i will look into those aphids thanks! But im first going to try the cactus as im not sue if the other speices of aphid produce the honey due that the ants farm. I will post up progress, i'll probably get the cactus in the next week. Thanks again
