Update 08-11-2021:
I bought these ants before the whole Ants Emporium drama about a week ago. When they arrived they had zero fungus and died within 12 hours. They have a live arrival guarantee so they sent me another. This time they had plenty of fungus and all the queens were alive and weren’t at the top of the container. I hydrated the nest and took some photos and videos that aren’t the best sorry I was too exited lol. They were pretty thirsty so I watched them drink the water from the plaster. Then I put In some dried rose petals in there outworld which I’m not sure if they can access, if they can’t then swap it out for a modified version. I didn’t see any brood on the fungus but I did see what might be eggs on the side of the container.
