What is the best type of formicarium for the myrmica species? I want to know what everyone keeps theirs in. Specifically, do they like open chambers or do they like firebrick?

Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise! It has no commander, no overseer or ruler, yet it stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest. -Proverbs 6: 6-8

Not really. They do certainly prefer it but I had a small Myrmica colony sitting in a dry test tube for almost a month and they did just fine. They moved eventually but even then moved back into the dry tube for a few days.
Now they have some brood in both tubes (which is annoying becauseI want to replace the dry tube).

We should respect all forms of consciousness. The body is just a vessel, a mere hull.
