  • So in this video I talk about three companies that, in my opinion, are the best and most reliable for purchasing formicaria as well as other ant-keeping supplies. Sorry for omitting many other companies, I only included companies I've had direct experience with.
    Thanks to antscanada for letting me use their theme song!
    As always, your feedback is welcome in the comments below.
    Antscanada: www.antscanada....
    Tarheelants: tarheelants.com/

      Cheryl Dahl yeah but if you buy from a home made website it will probably lead to the death or at least escape of your colony! Trust me! It's well worth the money

    • @cheryldahl9192

      Buy? I'm a DIYer :) I can make something.

      Cheryl Dahl yeah! I made my own I fact I'm letting the grout dry for my newest one! But I'm also buying one from tar heel soon so I like buying to prepare for when my colony gets bigger

    • @Andavane
      @Andavane 7 лет назад

      Cheryl Dahl : Indeed! Make your own is the way to go, or just use little containers various stuff comes in. Stuff we'd normally throw awayQ

      Cheryl Dahl make a grout or ytong formicarium, depending on where you live.

    so byformica went out of business or what? All I can find is an amazon link with 3 products up for sale.

    • @moprolackofuploads1674
      @moprolackofuploads1674 8 лет назад

      Sharp12 I'm currently under the impression that is the case. I checked the link and had the same thing! Personally I recommend tar heel ants! I haven't bought from AntsCanada Tarheel ants or ByFormica but I'm a big fan of antscanada so I always recommend them but after doing some research I've found Tarheel is a much better option!

    • @Sharp12
      @Sharp12 8 лет назад

      Yeah I bought quite a bit of stuff from THA last week. I messaged byformica and found our he is doing an overhaul on his product line. He's going to be releasing some new formicariums soon. But what it sounds like is probably next year...

    • @moprolackofuploads1674
      @moprolackofuploads1674 8 лет назад

      Sharp12 hmm... Ok I'll check them out in 2017 lol! That's why my photographic memory comes in handy!

    I know this video is a bit dated, but its still like one of the only advisory videos on youtube explaining where/who to buy formicariums from. I've been looking at buying one and this is what I've found so far. Byformica looks to be defunct or at least not selling anything other than food and feeders anymore, THA's formicaria are expensive AF and look great when people first get them but look like shit about a year later, Ants Canada formicaria cost about 4x what you can get other similar products for. I'm still searching for a nice formicarium to buy, I might end up ordering the "AFK-8.1" from ants russia, but the distance and month long shipping has discouraged me from committing to it. If anyone else has other more recent suggestions I'd love to hear it.

    I'm almost never ask for a shout out... But I have been featured on Tar Heel ants Facebook and have emailed with him... I don't have mean subs but I think that we could do something together and maybe just to a talk or something... If you would like to shout me out that would be highly appreciated too... Just give me some feedback on what you think... Thanks!

    Hey, I'm keeping an acorn ant colony (about 20 or so workers plus a queen.) I want to move them out of their acorn, and into a formicarium where i can observe them. What would you suggest for the tiny little guys.

    • @asianbatman555
      @asianbatman555  8 лет назад

      Look at one of tarheelants or antscanadas smaller formicariums. They both make formicaria specifically for small species.
