That borderlined on being art, the way you sculpted it. Love it!

[@KaySkywalker]

wow found a good use for those tiny fish tanks :)

[@therightshow5928]

Bro that looks amazing. 100 percent making this.

[@coziplay1004]

Hi, I'm new here. I love to watch Ant related videos and also Building an Ant Farm. I hope I learn a lot ❤️❤️

[@Dcolony]

Stay tuned buddy, i have filmed more diy ant farms, i dont really have much time to finish editing them now, but i will upload them as soon as im done.

[@Antsgermany]

You can see that the Queen wasn‘t fertilized because of her wings

[@samrockwallgunship]

I have had a campnotus chromaiodes queen who has a big colony now and she had wings

[@samrockwallgunship]

Workers cut the wing off tho

[@firefart2]

you are obviously new to ant keeping queens with wings have the same chance to be mated as without i have multiple winged queens who have workers

[@user-fb9pg7cm3z]

Actually it's hard to realize that because maybe it's fertilized or not but I'm sure it's fertilized because it will break her wings off later

[@amac247]

Another amazing video

[@zantezaint2348]

Impressive craftsmanship.

[@francisrieuants6286]

Nice ant nest is a good ant nest 👍🏻

[@Dcolony]

Thanks buddy 🙏

[@FizzleFX]

The watering from below is neat. you can keep the lit up and you cant flood it (since water goes down) ... pretty neat.

[@tichaonabunjira]

Well done keep it up thanks for any feeder video

[@ThisGuy327]

These videos are amazing keep up the amazing work that you’re doing!

[@OLD_FF______]

Yes you are right🥰

[@JaxomMric]

That is so great ! Excellent video !

[@kiryu63]

Wow, this is awesome!

[@minnaqiu6510]

Great new idea on the hydration chambers! Question, can you provide some links to the aquarium and the type of grout? Thanks!

[@Dcolony]

The tank was for beta fish heres the link of the product. shopee.ph/product/75410775/2536109502?smtt=0.0.9 And the grout is just normal grout, not the waterproof one. shopee.ph/product/180238636/3307965276?smtt=0.0.9

[@จิระพันธ์อินต๊ะสุข]

Where can I buy blue sponges?

[@Antramblings]

Great video thanks. I have been inspired to make my own but using air dry clay and a shoe display box. It's not all dry yet but for some great ideas from you. I am installing two temperature /hydrometers into mine from the start as they are so cheap to buy.

[@Dcolony]

That's great buddy. 🙂

Lo felicito mi hermano... es una preciosidad de formicarium, muy buena propuesta

[@Dcolony]

gracias por apreciar a nuestro compañero de contenido.

[@Theantsempire]

Love your vid

[@SekRanger]

you can use playdough to make paths before pouring cement in. so you wont have to carve for the paths later.

[@Dcolony]

I use sand if I do buddy, but I love carving ants nest.

[@samrockwallgunship]

The sand make a realistic look

[@Bfrplease]

Wow Nice Job!!

[@wotblitzchango.paramancosc4115]

beautiful men, gretting form Chile.

[@bethuelprime3999]

Awesome and helpful tutorial

[@RetroAnts]

ant love FOREVER

[@Dcolony]

🐜♥️♾️ Thanks for watching buddy!

[@theterroristcat5163]

Great Farm and thank you for the ideas, i've already subscribed to your channel

[@Dcolony]

Thanks buddy 🙏

[@WhatWouldHappenShorts]

Will this formicarium mold over time? I heard plaster molds.

[@linde4303]

My queen is not eating

[@Stan3.0-m6g]

The other way you could do it is put clay on the walls and then the oil, then plaster.

[@linde4303]

Im Cyrus 😎

[@serdna88]

whats the thing u put in the water at 0:37 ?

[@deaconhowell6340]

Your vids are good👍

[@ntcalvin]

Congratulations bro

[@Ohionews666]

Great vid

[@xtian_ph5973]

Im also new to watching this vids and they are cool and do you find the ants?

[@Dcolony]

Yes buddy, queen ants are free to catch during nuptial flights

[@zenzero64]

Is this your first ever KZbin video it's better than all mine combined!

[@GeckoTech_Engineer]

That fish tank is not suitable for fish, I’m glad you put it to good use

[@Dcolony]

You think so buddy? Thanks 🙏

[@GeckoTech_Engineer]

Yeah, a fish would have a terrible live in that tank

[@theelite4989]

I am the 10 000th viewer

[@Dcolony]

Wow! Thanks buddy 🙏

[@travisb5358]

Nice work man!!! I dig it forsure 😀😀😀

[@Dcolony]

Thanks Buddy! 😊

[@fullyirish7378]

Hi I'm new @ants as pets told me about you I love your vids😀😀😀😀🇨🇮

[@Dcolony]

Thanks buddy 🙏

I would wanna see how ants live there and all the clean process

[@Dcolony]

I use an ant vacuum on cleaning the ant farm, I review this vacuum on the channel as well and show how I do it on small set ups. I moved a colony here on one of the past video buddy. Thanks for watching.

Nice

[@cccc7006]

I was watching this when I suddenly heard "ECQ"... isang lugar lang may term na yan, hahaha.

[@Dcolony]

Kabayan 😁

[@hanniaedithmartinezadame794]

That queen wasn't pregnant, she had her wings open, a pregnant queen will have her wings closed on the back.

[@executivebexley252]

A Dremel would do a nice job on that!

[@Dcolony]

Yes, that would be great if you have them buddy 😁

[@hapime8107]

Cute music

[@Dcolony]

As cute as the ants 😁, thanks for watching.

[@hapime8107]

@@Dcolony yah it cute ants

[@venomradar]

Next time maybe put a colony, the queen might have died cause of too much space, had it happen to me multiple times

[@misterEguy]

what happened to A colony?

[@f.n.a.l7998]

Wow

[@Dcolony]

🙏🙏🙏

[@SugarZ.]

what is it called? white cement?

[@Dcolony]

It's tile grout buddy.

[@SugarZ.]

@@Dcolony what about gypsum? Can I use it?

[@Koreyisadumbfuck]

i can see that there are two hydration chambers. mind if i asked why is it that only one of them has a testube attached?

[@Dcolony]

At first i used to put a pond above the other chamber buddy, but remove it later including the testtube, and put the water below the nest.

[@kineiya]

Is using cooking oil safe to use?

[@Dcolony]

Yes buddy.

[@firefart2]

4:37 hair reveal

[@radogoji7031]

Hate to break it to ya but Polyrachis ants don't do well in captivity.

[@lzamek]

And can I have the driller link and the sand?

[@Dcolony]

I used grout buddy, The sand in the vid is from the backyard that I sterelized. About the drill bit, it's just a normal step drill bit, you can just search about it.

[@kineiya]

I have sand grout. Is this alright to use? I've seen similar sand grout that I have in black used and it looked like the ant's we're fine with it. So can I use the sand grout or do I need to buy a different grout. Thank you.

[@Dcolony]

That's fine buddy.

[@Koreyisadumbfuck]

your music is addicting

[@BossMasterPangs]

Wheres part2?

[@nang9484]

The products linked in the description only ship to Philippines… any cheap alternative for UK? Thanks

[@Dcolony]

I'm sorry buddy, maybe you can try to use image search for the products. I can't really find some on Ali or Amazon.

[@bronzburd5727]

The ant still has wings. Probably has not mated with a male.

[@confusiontm1274]

If Ant queen still hasn't broken her wings off yet that doesn't mean that she's infertile.

[@kendramy5075]

Hello I am from Germany can I buy an formicarium like this? From you?

[@antlover4438]

I want it too, how?

[@antlover4438]

@@Dcolony i sent you a message. 🙏

[@nigelbaldueza1145]

Did you buy that sand in Shoppee?i wish to know,and the sponge?

[@Dcolony]

Nope,The sand was collected in my backyard and i just sterelized it before using. But the sponge is from shopee, you can search for PVA SPONGE for the item.

[@Vantta-M]

I am very surprised. How to be interested in the creation of an anthill, and not be informed that an ant princess who does not tear off her wings is not ready to found a colony?

[@Dcolony]

Wings removal isn't 100% indication of being mated buddy, I had a lot of Queens with wings who successfully found a colony.

[@johnluis4363]

Hi,is artificial clay/play-doh okay for ants to live in?

[@Dcolony]

I don't have an idea buddy, I have no experienced using the material

[@linde4303]

How to solve it???????¿

[@ninavelasquez2024]

You make an ant farm but the queen ant die😭😭

[@Vantta-M]

The queen died because she was not fertilized. When a queen is fertilized and ready to found a colony, she tears off her wings.

[@KeiYukima_1]

Dcolony do an update on the queens

[@Dcolony]

Yes buddy, im currently editing some.

[@KeiYukima_1]

D colony can I have your Google email?

[@จิระพันธ์อินต๊ะสุข]

Where can I buy blue sponges?

[@Dcolony]

Their on ali express buddy, or you can just use a normal sponge.

[@kendramy5075]

I have a new idea to build my own just something with a waterfall or stream

[@Dcolony]

Great idea buddy, just be cautious with designs, because ants are easily drowned.

[@kendramy5075]

@@Dcolony Maybe stretch a net over it. I thought you could build it and make an interesting video for youtube if you feel like it. You could mention me. 😁

[@Dcolony]

Maybe, I'll think about it buddy

[@suhasjeeva2959]

Umm that's colobopsis leonardi not polyrachis

Yes buddy,she is. I got it id'd weeks after the upload. Thanks 😊
