Again well done on the great video and i look forward to an update on these guys soon :) ps. FACE REVEAL FOR THE BOISSS ;D

[@EstheticAnts]

Thanks man what an amazing comment, this says it all ❤

[@NorthernAnts24]

@@EstheticAnts your welcome man, i love your content and i always know its gonna be a cool video when i get the notification but this time it was different with soo much into one video, editing was great everything was so smart and simple, for the amount of things in the video it never gave off that kind of “over crowded” vibe what can happen alot in so many peoples videos, greatly executed man! Enjoy the rest of your weekend bro

[@EstheticAnts]

Do you like my new Microphone? Let me know ;)

[@kaydennixonn]

Yes the new microphone is very good 👌

[@StillOofing1]

Yes its better

[@ДавидЗукић]

It's not that big of a diference, but it's a little bit better

[@EstheticAnts]

@@ДавидЗукић you listened with headset. Because my trained ear can hear a MASSIVE difference haha.

[@ДавидЗукић]

@@EstheticAnts I just went to one of your older videos and compare it and it is actually big difference (and I didn't use headset🙃)

[@SunStarcz]

I must say that the nest looks really classy. It is really practical and stylish. Nice video!

[@EstheticAnts]

Thanks man! Appreciate it :)

[@anditsch4294]

Great video! My lasius grew in 2 years up to 2000 workers and 1000 eggs. Keep it up

[@EstheticAnts]

Yeah I clearly did a lot of stuff wrong.

[@AntWarriors]

Wow WOw WOW, Your videos are always awesome, but this video, oooh it really stood out, the presentation, the editing, the tutorial, the everything was just absolutely OUTSTANDING, I really gotta applaud you for that 👏👏👏👏👏👏 Just keep these videos going because it's getting better and better every time. And the microphone sounds EPIC🔥 great choice.

[@EstheticAnts]

Thank you man! Really apreciate it. Comments like these are the reason I make these videos. Thanks for motivating me😘

[@denkitney8865]

A very nice looking setup, might have to invest in one myself! Great vid' by the way.

[@EstheticAnts]

Thanks man, the mercury nest is really worth it.

[@stijncroon9287]

Coolnessssss

[@EstheticAnts]

Thanks

[@THEWILDMARTIN]

Great video EA! Lovely colony and very interesting formicarium design. Since I can't get hold of any Lasius sp here, I can only appease my desires by watching your videos 🥰💞 almost on the 1.5k 💪

[@EstheticAnts]

Thanks for your nice comment bro! 1.5k is getting close :)

[@crazyantics_]

This is such a nice nest! I've recently bought a Mercury nest from Wakooshi. Love their designs! Great video EA! 👍

[@EstheticAnts]

Awesome!!

[@kimmie44]

That nest looks great!! Hope you ants like it to and wil grow fast!! I gotta go and check wakooshi myself😉 btw, love the vid!!😘

Yeah🤣 they always do that when the nest needs hydrating

[@gardengirl5330]

Instructional & interesting!

[@EstheticAnts]

Thanks!

[@maupie053]

Do you have any tips for a colony that is not eating? My lasius niger queen started with 3 workers but now there is only one left. I gave them all sorts of insects like fruit flies which they just dump outside. By the way nice video.

[@EstheticAnts]

Just feed them sugar water. You can keep feeding ants, they don't eat that much.

[@maupie053]

Thank you very much!!

[@ДавидЗукић]

My 11 months old lasius niger colony is bigger than this one, hope your ants will do better in this new nest

[@EstheticAnts]

hehe yeah who knows.

I wish I had an ant colony and a mercury nest. It would be really fun

[@EstheticAnts]

Go get one!

[@mattj8403]

@@EstheticAnts I might get one next year when the season starts up again👍🏼

[@davYTrx]

The season is starting up!!!

[@mattj8403]

I have one question about this product, How do I, when I need to, test tube change

[@EstheticAnts]

If this tube runs out of water the colony probably has grown enough to be moved into a nest.

[@beng9925]

you have ants omg!!!!!!

[@EstheticAnts]

Lol

[@profitusmaximus4647]

Great video! Is it possible to get two captive bred Lasius niger colonies to swarm and mate? If so, how?

[@jennasants6337]

Yes, it looks absolutely beautifu😊l. You can use it with a Chinese tube with "automatic humidification", you know (Aliexspress to help). That'd be great👍

[@EstheticAnts]

Those don't work sadly. If you pull of the cap to refill your whole test tubes floods due to change in pressure

wish I could have a free wakooshi nest like you

[@EstheticAnts]

Nothing is free haha I spend countless of hours making KZbin videos to be able to classify for a sponsorship, 100s if not 1000s of hours.

[@SukaNekoto]

I hope this isn't a stupid question, but why is it called "mercury nest"? Does it contain any toxic materials?

[@EstheticAnts]

No hahaha Wakooshi likes planets. That's why he also has the Venus nest.

[@SukaNekoto]

@@EstheticAnts Ahh okay, thanks for letting me know! It's a cute little setup. I may think of purchasing it in the future if I ever get a small ant colony.

[@jesseklinkenberg9072]

Leuk

[@PhawuKemese-z6c]

How to buy a ant colony from you

[@Z-q5q]

A lasius Niger queen loosing some workers at the start is not bad consid8that lasius queens have a very long life 30 years to be exact, so don't worry, your colony has a lot of time

[@zenzero64]

[@EstheticAnts]

Hmmmm

[@darrenhurrell]

Love their products but wish he’d respond to my missing order query.

[@StillOofing1]

Finally a new video mercury nests are expensive

[@wackyantman5893]

You should’ve just left them in a test tube

[@EstheticAnts]

They are now

[@monsterizedgamer]

Here, I see ur mistake, u gave the ants a too big nest, I would recommend u move all the ants to a smaller nest that they feel secure in. But they should really be in a test-bed.

[@Reshtarc]

Looks like a pain in the ass to put together.
