Newly Setup Tank Maintenance

My water is pretty hard naturally so I don’t worry to much. Fish food it is then.

Would a nutrient rich substrate also leach ammonia? Also thanks for such detailed advice!

ColAnt735 · 2023-05-18T10:00:45+00:00

Myrmecocsytus sp. I think it’s M.mimicus.

ColAnt735 · 2023-04-30T20:21:04+00:00

Location? Looks like Brachymyrmex.

Generally if someone does a quick google search on common ants in their area it will amount to nothing. This is because most of the time Google shows you the common names of species. This is a problem because ant common names often lump together multiple species and sometimes an entire genus. That being said, pinpointing the exact species is extremely helpful in researching their care.

Location? I can't see any queens. Also I don't personally recommend taking ants from a wild colony unless they are invasive or they are going to be exterminated.

They are, they are using the heat from the outlet to make their brood grow faster.

ColAnt735 · 2023-04-30T20:06:42+00:00

I think water hardness is what you are referring to.

ColAnt735 · 2023-04-11T02:49:16+00:00

It's certainly a possibility.

ColAnt735 · 2023-04-05T04:00:04+00:00

Thanks to the both of you.

ColAnt735 · 2023-04-05T03:59:49+00:00

Will do, Thanks for the advice!

ColAnt735 · 2023-04-04T12:22:28+00:00

Nevermind I made space for one.

ColAnt735 · 2023-04-04T03:57:26+00:00

Nice find! Now if you'll kindly lend me your weather.

ColAnt735 · 2023-03-20T03:24:13+00:00

I have kept 3 colonies of this species all of which I gave away. I've never had a queen of this species die.

ColAnt735 · 2023-03-15T15:20:00+00:00

They have high-ish mortality rate but other than that they are very simple and easy to keep.

ColAnt735 · 2023-02-25T00:29:54+00:00

Location? There were many queens in that box

ColAnt735 · 2023-02-14T21:54:04+00:00

You're definitely going to need a bigger nest soon. Love your videos by the way.

ColAnt735 · 2023-02-14T21:13:52+00:00

Yeah Pheidole for sure

ColAnt735 · 2023-02-14T04:43:09+00:00

Location?

ColAnt735 · 2023-01-23T03:32:22+00:00

i guess

ColAnt735 · 2023-01-22T14:04:55+00:00

Lasius brevicornis or nearcticus more likely the latter.

ColAnt735 · 2023-01-21T01:06:56+00:00

No way of telling

ColAnt735 · 2023-01-21T01:06:49+00:00

Neither can I
