[@DarthVantos]

The fact that every single ANt colony had to be harrased by Gnome ants, proves you were Right to put them in. It was a perfect example of how dominant they had become. This is probably what happened to the previous weaver ant queens. Rather than the belief that smong ate the queens. Really eye-opening episode how the ecosystem can change so much.

[@ants5233]

Yes!

[@Nathan-vt1jz]

Agreed.

[@austrolopitecosmart]

But now it's the weaver ants at the top that have little to no competition

[@NoobixCube]

@@austrolopitecosmart weaver ants usually don't end up in direct competition with other ants, from what I've seen. I'm not a biologist, I just spent my teens and 20s in the tropics, lots of green ants in Queensland. Their predators are lizards, spiders, and birds, usually. Basically anything that will tolerate the bites for the chance to eat them. Basically giving a huge weaver ant colony primacy in the canopy tank is in line with how things would be in nature. They'll probably be the apex predator, upstairs.

The Gnome ants are so underrated and undervalued. They're feisty, sneaky, and clever. They are the natural inheritors of the throne, as well. They won out against every other colony, outcompeting and outlasting the other tribes, despite Mikey's favoritism! They arose from humble, flower pot beginnings to chiefly dominate the landscape WITHOUT help of any kind. I think they are to be admired. If not, than at least respected.

[@AntsCanada]

I do love them! I couldn't get over the savagery of the supermajors!

[@Nuin.]

Also, their house words are "grow strong", suiting their sigil of a tiny flower in a pot stemming from said humble beginnings. But will their cleverness be enough to let them reclaim the Tree Stump Throne in the now unfolding Battle of the 7 Bastants? Find out in the next episode! *roll intro music* An Ant An An An Ant An An An Ant An An An Ant....

It's really interesting to see the diversity of different ant species in even just one detail, some where the queen is barely bigger than the workers, some where the queen is MASSIVE in comparison, and even colonies with no queen at all. Even such a common feature of ant species, is so unique and different between species, its really an amazing sight.

[@guydudedudeguy9030]

Though people are acting like you broke your rule on not putting ants in a vivarium together like it’s a cockfight, I know why you felt it didn’t apply. Because there’s more species than this in a part of the rainforest that size, there’s two or 3 colonies in the tree, 2 more around the base, 8 more 5 feet away, and even more coming in and out of the area. You know that competition is part of a healthy ecosystem and biodiversity has a way of balancing itself out. I think you should do this every 6-16 months based on your assessment of the ecosystem. Ant love forever!

[@AntsCanada]

Exactly! Plus, in Episode 1, Season 1, I completely explain why that rule doesn't apply to this vivarium project.

[@saliosnoctin7797]

Well yes and no. The way I would see it is that the rule was broken if he purposefully intended for there to be fights between ants which he said he did not ever wish to take part in. But if he is doing it to add biodiversity and help create a healthier ecosystem in a bioactive vivarium project while also trying to stay as close to nature as possible in a space that is rather large such as this one then the rule is thus voided, as even in nature fights break out over food, territory, just for running into each other randomly, etc. So if you are trying to get as close to nature as possible you have to be willing to accept all things that happen within nature including parts you dislike, even live feeding of insects which AntsCanada also had an issue with and has disregarded for this project due to the attempt to get as close to nature as possible while in such an enclosed space. I don't disagree with those who say the rule was broken, but I also do not agree with them, as they seem to have forgotten that this is an attempt to recreate nature within an enclosed space. I would also agree that keeping tabs on the biodiversity of various species would be very wise, that includes, ants, soil creatures, feeder insects (prey), etc. Add what is needed every so often, as fresh blood is always a good things, inbreeding even in insects isn't always a good thing so fresh bloodlines may keep the ecosystem going (the exception I'd think would be isopods, no idea what types of effects inbreeding has on them but new morphs can add lots of interesting colors and what not to the ecosystem, just some food for thought).

Name for weaver ant colony: *THE NORNS* background: The Norns in nordic mythology are *FEMALES* weaving the life thread of humans (or cutting them off at the end of their lives). The three primary Norns Urðr (Wyrd), Verðandi, and Skuld draw water from their sacred well *to nourish the TREE at the center of THE COSMOS* and prevent it from rot.

Golden spiny ants - The Pantenes/ The Sunsilks (yes after the hair shampoo brand because 1. their abdomen just looks like shiny hair from the ads and 2. silk, silky hair, and... silk) 5. Marauder ants - The Clovers (as four leaf clovers are found above soil and as a good luck wish for survival to this colony of marauders who met an unfortunate and unlucky parasitic invasion at the wrong time last time) 6. Weaver ants - The Golden Apples / Gapples (after minecrafts golden apples, the ants are golden in colour and are nested in the leaves of trees which is where apples comes from) Congrats on 6 mil! and I cant wait to see more of the new weaver ants colony (I'm bias)

Spiny Golden ants: Eclipse Dancers: (because their little golden rings look like the ring of a total eclipse and they are quite elegant, like dancers!) The green weaver ants: Daughters of Vega (or Vega’s Daughters if the first one is too long):(there is a Chinese myth about a cowherd who falls in love with a weaver girl, the weaver is symbolised by the star Vega, and well, the weaver ants weave!) I hope you like these suggestions! Keep up the awesome work! Love your videos!

(Paraphrasing the narrator)“Little did I know what was going to happen when I mixed in all these different ant species together in a closed environment!”. My first thought was “are you kidding me? I know EXACTLY what is going to happen.” and, sure enough, it happened. Great content for grade schoolers.

*** dont forget to do a LARGE "feeding" now that so many more colonies are in. They definitely need an influx of feeders, a load of new roaches and crickets would be helpful.

[@Altuser-w6b]

The Marauder ants mission was the coolest out of all. Imagine, your god deploys you to new foreign lands, and you gotta scramble to secure the civilians/children or whatever precious cargo it is. You fight off hordes of humanoid aliens, some of them are powerful brutes, while the rest are relentless goblin things. Then a scout team finds a safe cave, and the migration begins. Soldiers carry precious cargo and form a long line. You get mortally injured by some of the aliens and the situation seems hopeless, but then a Titan unit comes charging through and makes even the aliens brute forces to run in fear. More Titans crawl past and then you catch one final glance of the glorious queen/commander who dwarfs even the Titan units. Your comrades carry the future of the colony to safety as you bleed to death… but a good death is its own reward (OMG IS THAT A MAN OF STEEL REFERENCE)

They happen in the sidewalks and backyards where I live all the time. Not saying that won't happen eventually, but you're acting like you were proved right when what you said didn't even happen yet. It's a vivarium, and he is clearly trying to find a balance of ant species that will coexist in a relatively large enclosed space. It's a worthy experiment that may help ant keepers of the future. We all dream of our colonies interacting and coexisting. Few people have the resources for experimenting. It took decades of experimentation to find the best balances of fish species... and I'm sure many fish died in the process. The knowledge has allowed the aquarium hobby to flourish. Insects will never be popular, but I'm glad someone is doing it and documenting their results.

Bullet ants name idea: Wujing empire. Named after the instruction manual of the creating gunpowder. Another idea is the Hippolyta tribe, named after the Amazon Queen who once fought against the hero Heracles. For the amazon tribes are well known for mating with males and returning to their home to strengthen their tribe with more female warriors.
