Hey im wondering if anyone can suggest a tank to me?
I want a tank roughly 20cm*10*10 ish. I went on one website that was selling glass ones with lids that had antproof mesh on, got to the checkout and with postage and all it would cost me £40!
Anyone know where i can maybe get a nice plastic one?
I went to a garden center today and couldnt see anything good.
Also ive ordered a M. Rubra colony off ebay, 50-100 ants so i kinda need to get a move on before they arrive hehe

Looking on amazon all the tanks have holes in the top, not a good idea lol!
Does anyone have suggestions on how i could plug the holes?

Instead of applying the PTFE on the whole lid, you can just take off the lid and apply it on the sides of the tank.
I received my bottle of PTFE yesterday and it works like a charm.

Cheaper option, just as affective:
Mix talcum powder with water and paint it around the edges, then leave to dry.
