I have only £17 and I want to get more ants, should I get a Single queen now, and raise her in a test tube,and save up then for a tank, or wait a few weeks and Buy a larger colony and a farm?

I would say get a L.Niger + 5-10workers from Queen Ant Store for £9.99 as it's free P&P. And then you can save up for a nest later! ;D ...Actually, that sounds like a good idea, I am going to do it

Personally I'd opt for the 11-20 worker option

How long would a small colony be ok in a test tube?

I can't tell you exactly, but I would say atleast a few months, quite sure it would be more.

Id go with a lone Niger/Flavus queen:) I go higher with being impatient (and, being me, whenever I've tried from scratch, they seem to go well, then suddenly die off for some reason)
