U know, u can put everything in one thread, maybe ur blog. Because I think u already started 10 threads.. And it will be easier to help you and to respond to everything.. Try to work a little bit more organized.. And no. Don't think that this is against you. Because that is the easy way out. Try to think Little bit. I don't like that people give up so fast. Makes my species look dumb.

If u would search fish tank and ants on Google. I'll find lots of example that this can work.

Just because I read ur other things I already know this can work. Only if u use an anti escape barrier. Yet ponerine ants are not great escapers because they can't easily climb glass or acryl. U also have to have patience with queens to let them get their first workers. So no. U don't have to clean them. U already have so much. And I know all of this because people actually tried to give u good answers to help you further in this amazing hobby. How u behave will not work later in life. And even later u would hate yourself for being that childish. Because I know. U know. U can do better than this. So please. Just think twice before anything. Because u already have so much answers and stuff..

OK. Baby steps then..
Next time if someone helps u, try to not have pity with yourself but thank the one who tried to help u, by saying for example, thank u for your response, I'll try to look into it.

Next step is actually trial and error. With the information u were given u can already experiment. Try to make something with the aqua tank first. Show us a pic. And we can help you continue.

Just please stop with the tf and the curse words. I don't like that. There are other ways to make this more personal and respectful to each other. Especially to yourself

Fill it up with dirt and you can use it as a setup, though something really cool you can do with fish tanks is fill them with plants and get some oecophylla smaragdina or polyrhachis. These ants will use the plants to make their leaf nests and are some of the coolest ants out there.

No, never again, never put them in a fish tank, cos if you do, [censored] happens. Case closed.

Ponerines are fine, I have a large colony in a big tank with no barrier

but isn't that the only thing you can keep oecophylla in?

Can you just make a thread called "Hightlyze's questions"? I think that you should put all your questions in one thread, because they usually have simple answers.

That’s literally what forums are for: asking and answering questions. The majority of threads in the general section of this forum are alike this one. I see no problem with his threads.

weavers tend to mess up the glass making it impossible to feed. I caught a really big colony once and they chewed through the silicone and actually dismantled part of the tank.
