Dude, very inspiring content you have here and on your channel in general. I have 16 young colonies and only two formicarium which are the home for a Campo Penn. and a campo Floridanus. this video sparked great ideas for homemade Formicaria. Thank you D Colony you da MAN!! or WOMAN!! Keep making premium content for us ant folk lol much LOVE and RESPECT from Colorado U.S.A.
Again, Great tutorial D colony. Im again willing to buy formicariums from you. Tbh i dont know the issue of the one who dislike the video. Keep up the good work.
I absolutly love this! I will be doing something similer in a few weeks. I am hoping to make mine completely Temperature controled!!! I can not wait!!!!
I call this quality content, he tried for about 30 minutes just to focus on the camera for us. Before you start saying he could have lied, try focus on something that is constantly moving and is 2mm long with you phone camera
Sry this is the first vid I have found of yours.. do you have a video on your tube setups? Just curious on what looks to be feeding trays (white plastic) inside the tubes.. will explore your vids more after work!!!
I think I got some of those on the past vids buddy, but Those are just ordinary plastic that I used to feed them, just to make their tube as clean as possible.
@@Dcolony I used to. sadly not at at the current time. finding a queen in my area is quite difficult and its seems like no one sells queens of this spp.
Last question... The cut out ventilation on top has no screen? How do you prevent them crawling out? Also where do you get the containers? And what are they called . Thanks so much for sharing. Gave me some ideas.
Классная реализация. Очень здорово получилось! Только не совсем понятно как увлажнятся субстрат? А так, осталось только найти подобную тару. Нет ничего лучше, чем сделанное собственными руками. Спасибо большое от кипера из России.)
Where are you located ? Australia ? Because idk where I can get clear acrylic containers anyone know? I’ve looked for acrylic fish tanks sort of thing or containers but it’s hard to find them around for me tbh.
Im Based in the Philippines buddy, i also got hard time finding this containers around my place, but i just look for it online, i got this in cheap price.
I really like this simple design, but a quick question, the "earth" in the nesting areas are bio active? If the ants make a chamber for their waist, will it be processed or will they notice that this isn't bio active and bring the "garbage" somewhere els?
Great work filming and the formicarium builds. I would rather hear your voice than a generated one though. It was a little too monotoned and jittery for my taste. Cheers from Canader eh!
I've seen most of your videos and they are awesome! I just have one question about the acrylic cement. What kind do you use? I've tried to find some, but it's like a djungel 😅
I just follow the instructions on the grout packaging buddy, but I believe I made a more detail mixing of grout on my 1st ever diy video buddy, just check the playlist ant keeping DIY. hope it helps.
In France we says "do it with your parents" so it surprise me when you've said "do it with your father or older brother"
This is the best tutorial I've ever seen, thanks!!
Very interesting and informative, good work.
Thanks buddy. 😁
Good content tbh kind of surprised you don’t have a bigger fan base
That's also what's on ma mind.
Thanks for the appreciation buddies. 🙏

Thank you so much for the support buddy, and good luck to your ant colonies, D colony loves you too. 🙏
True the formicariums that are professionally made tend to be very expensive for no specific reason, homemade alternatives are such a good idea
Incredible video mate. I'd love to make one like that, very inspiring and got some brilliant yet simple ideas.
Thanks for the support man. 🙏🙏🙏
Nope, why buddy?
Pretty interesting buddy,maybe i'll try to make one.

Last question... The cut out ventilation on top has no screen? How do you prevent them crawling out? Also where do you get the containers? And what are they called . Thanks so much for sharing. Gave me some ideas.
I use an olive oil as barrier to prevent the ants on the video from escaping buddy. The mini containers link was on the description bud, thanks 🙂
Do you use coconut soil for the Nest? For what Kind of ants?
On most soil nesting species buddy like fire ants. Sometimes I mix dirt too.
Today i mixed flowerdirt with coconut for my Lasius Niger, they are 1 queen and 10 worker, a lot of eggs, they are my first ants.
Cool buddy, wishing the best for your colony! 🙏

Where are you located ? Australia ? Because idk where I can get clear acrylic containers anyone know? I’ve looked for acrylic fish tanks sort of thing or containers but it’s hard to find them around for me tbh.
Im Based in the Philippines buddy, i also got hard time finding this containers around my place, but i just look for it online, i got this in cheap price.

I'm hydrating it from the pipe I installed in the front buddy, and sometimes I also hydrate it from the nest entrance.
Wat kind of box is that
Link of the materials used is on the description buddy, you can check it out for more details.
@@Dcolony thx

The pharoah ants occupying the ant farm bringing their waste in the outworld buddy. Thanks for watching 😊
Great work filming and the formicarium builds. I would rather hear your voice than a generated one though. It was a little too monotoned and jittery for my taste. Cheers from Canader eh!
Thanks buddy, but as of the moment I don't have the guts yet for a voice reveal, but I'm hoping I can really do it sooner.
We will drill a hooeee 😂😂😂
I've seen most of your videos and they are awesome!
I just have one question about the acrylic cement.
What kind do you use? I've tried to find some, but it's like a djungel 😅
It's weld on 4 buddy, they have it on Amazon. I bought mine locally with the link on description.
@@Dcolony Thanks for the answer.
I thought I checked the description, but I must have missed it.
Gonna try it out!
Keep up the good work 😄👍
