What if someone made an adaptable formicarium that fits all types of ants. That would be pretty cool.

    I have been trying for the last year. I have succeeded to build a formicarium that will house all ants that have basic founding needs (as in they don't need specialized conditions). I have seen a noticeable difference in growth between colonies raised in a test tube vs. my formicaria. Ant colonies raised in my formicaria have increased growth rate as well as a more lively reaction to food.

    I was thinking having adjustable chambers with tunnels and nests having slidable walls controlled from the back. It doesn't work though.

    Nordic Ants on YouTube has a huge vivarium where he keeps tons of ant species together.
