You should have put fluon in the outworld before you put the ants in

I did, I put many layers and let it dry for a day. They still overrun it somehow.


My Ants:
(x1) Campontous semitstaceus ~20 workers, 1 Queen
(x1) Camponotus vicinus ~10 workers, 1 Queen (all black variety)
(x1) Tetramorium immigrans ~100 workers, 1 Queen
(x1) Myrmercocystus mexicanus -1 Queen
(x2) Mymercocystus mimcus -1 Queen
(x1) Mymercocystus testaceus ~45 workers, 1 Queen

How do you tell the difference between C. fragilis and  Myrmercocystus mexicanus. I have what i think is Myrmercocystus mexicanus but her nanitic workers are not yellow they are more golden/orangy. I was told when i received the queen that she is M mexicanus. But not sure now.

A pic/Id post is your best option. C. fragilis look way different then Myrmecocystus.
