February this year I bought a starting set with Lasius niger colony from Antstore. They are doing very good after a slow start, and the colony has grown from 8 ants to at least 75 now (hard to count them accurately
). The water supply in the test tube is running low, and it isnt that clean anymore. In order to anticipate for them to move to a new test tube, I need some supplies.Basicly I want to attach a fresh test tube to the other side of the basin. I got the starter set (link here) meaning it got holes in it 10 mm diameter. I want to make a more sturdy connection then I have now, so wanted to connect the tubes with a connecter.
My question is: if I buy the following list of items, will they all fit together?
- 2 x Alpha Ants rubber basin connector 10mm (link)
- 1 x Test-glass-tube 100x12 mm / 10 pcs. (link)
- 1 x flexible tube 14/10 mm - cristal glassy - hard (link)
So if anyone (from the shop) can confirm this will fit together? Its kind of hard to know for sure from the descriptions.
A look into the future tells me I want to move to two test tubes as a nest for my babies. I would therefor allready want to buy the materials needed for that. I was planning on the following, and for this I would like to ask the same question: does it all fit together (and with the list above)?
- 1 x LP tube fitting Y 10 (link)
Also I would need a connector between the flex tube 14/10 mm and the test tube, but can;t find anything for that on the webshop. What connector can I use?


Works well.
