So, I might have accidentally done something rather bad. I was checking how much water was left in my Myrmica sp. colony's test tube, when it disconnected, I was trying to connect it back but ants were streaming out and I just couldn't do it, so I went into damage control mode, dumped the colony into the outworld and hastily connected a new nest with a new test tube of water. The queen has not escaped thankfully but I need to ask if the colony will be able to survive this? 

 

Their new nest: It is not perfect, not perfect at all but it was what I had at hand.

Yea like Zeiss said they will be fine. Ants can adapt very quickly.
