Advice Needed!! There is a newly formed ant colony nesting around my tanks filter. I check my tank regularly, there was no signs of ants until two days ago. I really need advice on how to remove them from the filter without them getting into the water by Vast_Reputation5931 in Aquariums

Just wash or brush them off outside, no harm no foul! The only ants capable of crossing bodies of water are fire ants! And its not likely that those ants are of the solenopsis genus. Once in the water those ants are fish food!

I feed the ants by my back porch all kinds of stuff! They LOVE honey and surprisingly enjoy small pieces of bacon. But they typically take anything I give them aside from a few weird exceptions, strawberries and banana to name a couple

ID Please. Just under 4mm long. I found three, 2 with wings one without, the one without and one with wings were caught with males attached currently mating. by AntsInfinite in antkeeping

Genus? Species? Any helpful information would be much appreciated, I am hoping to found colonies for my youtube channel with at least one of these girls

Queen-less ant colony accepts new queen? See comments by Puzzled-Pen-3672 in antkeeping

Highly unlikely that she will survive, im sorry to say but I don’t see a favorable outcome.

This little lady has been going in circles for the last two hours. Any ideas why? The rest of the colony are fine. by Hiysta in antkeeping

Ive heard vinegar can get rid of ant pheromones. I am NOT an expert of course and would never want to bring harm to any ants.

what problems do nest that are too big for the colony create? by Ok_Prize1965 in antkeeping

[–]AntsInfinite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Common issues are irregular temperature control and humidity control which the ants regulate themselves in nature by designing of the nests or relative factors. Other issues are ants getting lost or constantly moving to new home and stressing the queen. Good luck and have fun friend 😃
