I have noticed everyone on the forum is getting a new colony wether more or less experienced than me, to keep up with everyone I have decided I will order a Lasius Niger colony with the size 4-10 workers or 11-24 ;D I have never done well with Ln but after feeding the ants outside a fly and noticing they were being mischievous and were parading around with a big green caterpillar I decided I would love to start with a new colony. I'm having a two part poll. I will have how many Workers to buy and which tank to use. Thanks for reading I will update you all soon! Edit- Just went to add poll and accidentally accepted it when I only added part one  Well Part two, I guess you can comment >.< Use this tank here :- img.fw1.biz/resize/43463/hexagon_aquarium_kit.jpg/230/280/0/FREE%20SHIPPINGOr a Ytong nest off an ant site, I will edit again when I find a suitable one, for now just tell me which you think would suit them better. |

I voted for the 11-24 workers because they will be easier to keep as the'll be better established ;D

Yeah I might opt for the Ytong but I will have to find the cheapest because to be truthful I don't want to spend so much on that after buying 8 MonoCrystalline solar panels and my £600 Hariwake jumped out of the pond for the second time and met Her fate  . I may go for a small Ytong nest though |
