Fire ants, Asian Bullet Ants, Carpenter Ants, Yellow Crazy Ants, Black Crazy Ants, Weaver Ants, and more! I've owned many ant colonies in my life, but this week I believe to have created my favourite ant farm of all time! In this episode, we welcome back the Titans (Asian Marauder ants, a.k.a Carebara diversa), and move them in to a new castle-themed ant farm. Beyond the aesthetics of this new habitat, I also made sure to learn from my mistakes in the past! This ant colony will surprise you! Hope you enjoy this week's ant video! Ant love forever! This video was shot in 4K Ultra HD resolution.

Sorry for the late video, AC Family! This one took a lot longer to make than I expected, but it is now one of my favourite videos! Hope you guys like it, too! Also this video was just uploaded so sorry if the video appears low quality for the first little bit. This will change as KZbin processes the video. Ant love forever and thanks for your patience, AC Family! Do you guys like this NEW Titans colony?

Dunno about that. I think the video quality and his enthusiasm for ants is great, but the way he narrates is cringy imo, and I don't like the over-the-top dramatisation.

[@Pixelite_]

I love how all the queens kinda have their own personalities First queen acts like the empress of the colony and glides down the tube on her sisters like a parade float The second was a little reserved and quickly went into the nest. Guess she doesn’t like too much attention The third is the nimble one and had no trouble with the tube and getting to the nest The fourth is somewhat a klutz with her slipping, but she’s determined and makes up for her mistake with the help of her family The fifth is a little more graceful than the others, she knows what she’s doing And finally the sixth, guess she’s a little shy given how she was the last one, and afraid of heights because she climbs down sideways, either that or she’s a goof

Olympus, I feel like the perfect name for this colony would be The Pantheon. They are the new Gods that have moved into the halls of this holy mountain, and their rule will indeed be mighty and long.

[@JoeStuffz]

Many people have said your sentiment, and I agree with it. I love this channel, but I hate that he uses "back from the dead" or "return" if it's not one of the original queens. I would feel better about it if the old name was the result of a poll. I think he at least calls the Jawbreakers Jawbreakers II, which does help, but I rather he asked first. It's like the Jawbreakers and Titans themselves had no value to anyone and are easily replaceable. It feels like those colonies themselves don't have anything that stood out about them except what species they were. It feels like the colonies don't have any unique personalities

I'm actually super overjoyed and proud of you for not giving up, and for doing this again. It was the saga of the Titans and the curse of the dragon that brought me to this channel and really started to follow eagerly. To see it revitalize warms my heart, and is very encouraging with how much you have learned since the passing of them in the past. Best of all, it really keeps you guessing what will happen week to week, what amazing or heartbreaking things may happen. I hope Olympus will last or a long time, and never fall, that their troubles will be minimal, but with 6 queens, I am sure they will stand the test of time with ease, no more invaders to overthrow the kingdom.

Every time I watch one of these videos I tell myself I'm not gonna get emotionally invested in the lives of ants. Yet every time you penetrate right through my skin to my heart with your stories of the ants and how they each have their own problems and backgrounds. I never thought watching ants would be so entertaining and leave me waiting for a new video every week but you make it seem like they are just as much our pets as they are yours. Thank you for the amazing content!

Hey man,i was wondering if you have ever considered to make a step by step video on paludarium creation, for someone like me who never attempted this kind of things it would be so cool to see you explaining how do you pick/ mix / place and organize soil / vegetation / decoration in order to create one of those worlds, keep up the good work man this chanel is producing such a high quality content, both entertaining and educational.

[@AntsCanada]

Yes, I actually have a 'THE MAKING OF' video of the Selva de Fuego on my vlogging channel #MikeyBustosVlogs. Try looking it up. It includes everything from the shopping of the parts, making of the aquarium, choosing of driftwood and plants, and the moving in of the animals. :)

[@Skala2710]

Yeah i remember this one, i was just pointing the fact thah over the last few months your skills in this field got hella sick, you've been creating rivers, islands, now even mountains. Just this knowledge could make a separated chanel on paludariums sinc their usage goes far beyond antkeeping, anyway i was just impressed by the bag of soil turining on a minature piece of a mountain world; well done!

[@shunbannun7427]

Albert Skalski I agree! I'm keeping any keeping in the back of my mind, and would love to be inspired by seeing how paludariums are put together and how ants adapt to their environment. Gotta share that ant love!

[@SS-wu5du]

I tryed to make an ant colony back in the '70s. I had two pieces of round glass that I left only about a inch between in space. I really wanted to see the tunnels they made. It was crazy how fast they began to construction. My mom made me let them loose after we started having escapes. I can't remember what happened to the set-up. They were just common ants found in our backyard in California. I love that thing.

[@Czechants]

well Mikey, if you will continue this way, you will soon need second ant room :DD

[@Nemesis0513]

True dat. :)

[@Czechants]

isn´t there a possibility that these 2 bonus queens are already mated queens that are born in the colony? if the colony started with 4 queens it´s highly possible they have different genes so their alates can mate together. that would make this colony immortal :)
