As an isopod keeper, it's always a pleasant surprise seeing them featured here and there😁 interested to see how they'll get along and interact with ants in future videos!

[@Regfife]

I hope you can get footage of the carpenter ants expanding their tunnels. I've been wondering how digging through wood looks compared to digging through dirt. Also, I wonder how safe these isopods will be with the carpenter ants. From past videos ants seem pretty good about leaving the springtails alone, but given how we saw one ant attack an isopod here, I worry the ants could take them down by working in groups, attacking the legs.

[@AntsCanada]

I believe the isopods will be safe. Once the ants get used to their smell and they start smelling like the nest and surroundings, they will leave them alone. I once broke into a carpenter ant nest in a log and saw a tonne of isopods living with them.

Honestly wondered from the start why springtails weren't added. You can grow them in cultures and even buy cultures online. I did this myself when I wanted to make a 10 gallon terrarium. Cheap and easy. The terrarium didn't work out for unrelated reasons, but I kept the cultures going for years thinking I might use them someday.

Yarr, one thing I was concerned about when you first made the wooden style nest for the ant tower was how you were going to control mold.

There are 2 ways how it can end when you put regular isopods in a formicarium. The first: the ants kill the isopods and thats it. The second: the ispood population will explode until there is no space left for the ants. In your case are the colonies to small - so i guess the second one will happen. 😅

I’m about to go for my first ant colony (Tetramorium immigrans, as they’re small and native to my area)! I’ve checked the website guides and tutorials tens of times over, but I figured it was better to ask anyways: is it recommended to start an isopodium of my own to prevent buildup for their eventual outworld? I’m just worried that the isopods might get into their nesting chambers and eat the brood. I know that springtails and mites will leave them alone, but it’s the bigger guys I’m anxious about

[@AntsCanada]

Don't worry. The Tetramorium won't let isopods anywhere near the brood. Introduce them with the colony is at 100 workers.
