I Created a Volcano Ant Farm for Fire Ants
Рет қаралды 2,185,212
Жыл бұрынMy pet fire ant colony (Solenopsis geminata), named the Crimson Knights, has reached their growth spurt stage, exploding in population, and so I have been working on the ultimate fire ant setup: a volcanic island pauldarium, complete with mountain, greenery, waterfall, and surrounding waters. Transporting the colony was a surprising process, but he best part was watching how the fire ants poured out of the volcano like lava at feeding time! Hope you enjoy this week's explosive fire ant video! Ant love forever! This video was shot in 4K Ultra HD resolution.

I would suggest adding water boatmen, these little insects with two legs that swim and sometimes get in pools, not to confuse with backswimmers. They aren’t carnivorous, they actually eat algae. The backswimmers however, eat insects so don’t confuse them- would be a shame 😅. So yeah, I would suggest adding water boatmen to the waters. Ant love forever 🐜❤️
@user-lw4vi4oy2d Жыл бұрын
Hey as a waterboatman keeper myself i wouldn't recommend them honestly. Their food requirements are just way too specific that not everyone could provide, like you said, they only feed on algae and wouldn't eat pretty much anything else. I've tried spirulina wafer, blanched and raw vegetables as well as more experimental stuff like sea kept and bubblegrass, the only other thing they've ever fed on were the live plants in their tank however that isn't a reliable food source and they only rarely do it. Also they're omnivore/opportunistic carnivore so they will also eat small weak dying fish and bloodworm occasionally

Now THIS is an ant farm! The setups you've been creating lately have been truly inspirational, it's awesome to see so much hard work and dedication for animals so many view as pests! In terms of the water section, a good sized school of ember tetras could look awesome, and they'd fit the theme quite well! If not, some blind cave tetras could match the cavey-volcanic sort of theme as well. Honey gourami also have a gorgeous yellow-orange colouration to them would compliment the ants quite well! These could also be combined with any sort of corydoras catfish, cherry shrimp (the orange verity could look cool) or even dwarf crayfish!

I’d suggest shrimp for the waterways. They are an excellent clean up crew and will help keep the waters clean. Plus some species of freshwater shrimp are a fiery red and would really pop in the black waters. The only problem with this is that shrimp love aquatic plants as it makes them feel safe and give them something to graze and hide in. And I’m afraid by adding plants that would take away from the overall feel of the setup. But hey perhaps it won’t.

I strongly recommend neon tetras (of any colour) for your aquarium habitat. The colours and size of the fish means you can keep many in the area you are looking to fill. Make sure to add some type of shrimp or pleco so it keeps the surfaces free of algae and acts as a cleanup crew for excess food. You can get all of these fish at big als or various aquarium stores in Toronto. I hope this helps a lot! So happy to see the new setup btw!! Looks amazing!!

I agreed til the part about Piranhas. They bore most people & they get enormous! Like they literally won't fit as adults (and keeping fish in a small tank does _not_ limit their growth). And piranhas are illegal in many places. If you personally like the look & don't mind the size, just go for pacu, their virtually identical but less problematic vegetarian lookalikes (from the same regions iirc). But not in a setup like this, meant for little fish.

Fun fact:Fire ants are several species of ants in the genus Solenopsis, which includes over 200 species. Solenopsis are stinging ants, and most of their common names reflect this, for example, ginger ants and tropical fire ants. Many of the names shared by this genus are often used interchangeably to refer to other species of ant, such as the term red ant, mostly because of their similar coloration despite not being in the genus Solenopsis. Both Myrmica rubra and Pogonomyrmex barbatus are common examples of non-Solenopsis ants being termed red ants.[2]

So happy i got recommend this video! Now have been watching the channel for 2 days XD. I wanted to thank you, but also compliment you on your skills! The video footage itself, it greatly shot and i do like the test tube footage, but to be honest that alone wouldn’t keep me engaged. What draws me to your videos is first off all the music that you add to it. It’s SO perfect, the timing off it and a lot off very recognisable sounds so it hits that nostalgia and gives it that epic feel to it. And then to complete it all, your voice overs. You have a very nice, clear and soothing voice. And your way off explaining things and how you smartly keep people wanting to see more with these storylines. That mixed with your general and incredible passion and enthousiasme keeps me hooked every second off the videos!❤

This is gorgeous! 1. The ants may still make a bridge to cross the barriers you set and escape. Fire ants are ridiculous, as you know. 2. Any fish you put in the water may be eaten by the ants as well. So I suggest something small that repopulates steadily (you can always remove them yourself to feed to the ants too) such as mosquito fish. They'll eat straggler ants, but the ants will also eat them and it's insane to watch. Can't wait to see the next update on this habitat!

For the water I'd suggest a small species of nonflying diving beetles. Ants drowning is inevitable and when that happens it shouldn't be for nothing. The waters need a clean up crew. Diving beetles would love it in there.

Wow! This is one of the greatest builds you've ever done, and considering how awesome your builds have been in the past, that's saying something! It looks amazing, and very realistic. You clearly have a coral reef "nearby" because of the white sand. White sand is basically parrot fish poop! 😆They have "beaks" and eat the coral, digesting the little plants inside the corals and the animal part of the structure. Then they poop out the remainder. (I think some other fish do much the same but I can only remember them.) The volcano build is phenomenal. As a geology enthusiast, though I am definitely not a professional or expert in any way, it looks pretty realistic to me. You're right about plants only growing to a certain level then just stop. I can't remember the exact height (it probably changes a bit due to climate), but there definitely is a level at which they cannot grow any higher. It's touches like this which make the difference between good and awesome!

Depending on wether you want the tank below to be a whole “other world/enclosure” or something on a smaller scale, I would go with an axolotl for the first and shrimp for the second (or both as long as the shrimp wouldn’t get eaten)
