Hi,

I have a 65 gallon tank and some 20 gallon tanks at home. What are your suggestions of plants, lighting, and other bugs to make a good natural set-up. Also, I keep on debating in my head what species of hand should harbour this natural set-up. I don't really want a formica colony to inhabit it, would Tetramorium or Pheidole be a good choice, or tapinoma sessile? I live in Maryland and I want a species that will be very active on the surface of the terrarium and will last a long time (6 years at the least). What species would you recommend and what plants. The set-up would be in my garage which gets a little light throughout the day consistently. So the plants would have to be shade loving. What do all of you think? Thanks!


Aphaenogaster cf. rudis 

Tetramorium immigrans 

Tapinoma sessile

Formica subsericea

Pheidole sp.

Camponotus nearcticus
