I started a thread on this not too long ago, there are some popular suggestions:

Starting this July I'm posting videos of my ants every week on youTube.
I like to make relaxing videos that capture the joy of watching ants.
If that sounds like your kind of thing... follow me >here<.
I remember reading this a few weeks back very informative. Another great idea @futurebird!

I have the first two and pretty soon I will get the third, sixth and last.
Do you know where I can get mealworms for cheap?

I think instead of fluon I will use baby powder mixed with rubbing alcohol. and I will be sure to check out Petco!

fluon is great for keeping no lid outworlds. Also it's great if you are lazy like me, works as is out of the bottle, no alchemy skills or work needed.
and a pooter. You want a pooter, you will not be collecting lots of ants, quickly, with your fetaher tweezers. If you need to move a lot of ants, you need a pooter.
It is the easy way to clean an outworld. Seal it off, pooter up the ants in it, clean it without hassle form ants. Put ants from pooter back when done.
pooter
and yeah a nice pooter is nice and all. but if you got a perscription medicne bottle, some extra ant tubing, and any kind of filter(cotton or whatever). then just cobble one togther, don't spend money on it. A pooter is such a basic thing it seems wrong to not just make one out of whatever reuse/upcycle materials you got around.

Keeping:
3x - S. molesta
1x - C. chromaiodes
2x - F. pallidefulva
2x - C. cerasi
1x - B. depilis
2x P. imparis (colonies) 3x P. imparis queens (1x queen in test tube, 3x queens in test tube, and 6x queens in another test tube. Can't wait to see the results!)
Check out my C. chromaiodes journal here: https://www.formicul...aiodes-journal/
Yea the best bet is to just build one.
