Hi, do you think the formicarium i have drawn could work?(its about the size of an A4 paper) Its of course for when the colony grows to a very big population, iv heard tetramorium likes narrow spaces, is this the right size?

Kinda over the top and a little to complicated i suggest you simple it down a notch because i kinda think its gonna be hard to carve out.

But in terms is it good as a nest for tetramorium, i think your not goona have problem tetramorium is quite adaptable it will have no problem living in that nest.

ok, thanks. Do you reccomend the tunnel style, small rooms style or the big room with islands style?

How big is your colony currently? Do they really need this setup?

the colony isn't even near the size I'm planning on moving them in. I'm mostly doing this for fun.

From a desing perspective i think small rooms and lots of tunnels is cooler besides tetras like tight spaces so it suits them better.
