Yeah bro thats treu
Hello Greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱 you have a awesome TH-cam channel 👍🏻I love ants 🐜
I appreciate the support buddy! 🫡🙏
Randomly clicked this video. Not at all disappointed. Recently got interested in watching aqua scaping, so this would be a really interesting thing to add to one of those. Especially if you have a large tank that you can have space for a small colony and still have room for a pond style setup for fish
Thanks so much buddy, Welcome to the channel! 🫡
I think i changed becus you're now my favorite TH-camr
Thanks a lot buddy! 🫡
OMG i was right i can say :D almost "tower" nest great job buddy:)
So close Buddy! 🫡
wow that's amazing!
Glad you think so buddy! 🫡
Congrats❤️ i think i heard you on one of the first d colony video i watched.

Travail de professionel cest super 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thanks so much buddy! 🫡
Its been a long time since ive watch u r video im happy to be back watching it keep up bro❤
Thanks and Welcome back buddy! 🫡
One of the best formicariums I've seen, truly, I have to wonder, how will you move them if it becomes necessary? And how will you clean out the nests one day?
We have an expansion hole on the front of the glass buddy, if you mean how to clean for reuse? Since we can't clean it if they're inside, The lid can be open for each nest buddy once they've move to another set up.
how cool! i love your content
Glad you enjoy it buddy! 🙏
d colony is so underrated
🥹🫡
Love your videos keep up🎉
Glad you like them buddy, will try my very best! 🫡
You should try making A rainforest/jungle habitat with a mini pond, with aquatic life such as snails and shrimp. Maybe even a few loaches to eat the ants that fall in the water!
That's my dream project buddy with multiple ant colonies too, but I don't have a big enough place for it now. Maybe in the future if we got succes here in yt, cause we need big enough space so the ants won't be able to raid the other inhabitants easily.
Love the video per usual
Yay! Thank you buddy! 🫡
Hey D Colony!! Another amazing video and high quality nest you have made.
I just have a quick question, what type of GROUT do you use, some are toxic for ants so i want to make sure im using the right one
Keep up the amazing videos!!!
I use a local brand name ABC buddy, just the typical grout.
Wow this is awesome
really the coolest ever
Thanks buddy! I appreciate it a lot! 🙏
your the best

I Only Seen The Ants Before (Talking About the Queen Ant)
They have their own playlist since the beginning buddy, check it out you can see what the founding queen looks like too.
I sub because you're such an artist.
🫡🙏
love your videos!
We love to have you here too buddy! Thanks so muc! 🫡🙏
Good day buddies 🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥
😁🫡
So cool😮
Cool as you buddy! Thanks! 🫡
just wondering what brand of grout you used here as the carving looks smooth
It's a local brand name ABC tile grout buddy, the grout is only dried for 24 hours so it's still soft to carve 🫡
Where did the big acrylic box come from ?!?! The upside down lid on the corner and outside are perfect for fluon as ants struggle to go upside down with fluon applied
I constructed it using acrylic sheets buddy, I've shown it on most of my DIY builds using them. Just skipped on this one 😁
Love tetramorium sp your so creative with this I wish I have your skill and planning Ideas soon I have a big work area and I can get projects started the set up you did reminded me of playing with minature army men as a kid lol I want to try this with Caespitum or Forte thanks again and if you want to make me a nest like that Id pay you for it, its so nice to look at..
I love playing like that too as a kid buddy, way back I also make my own setting for the army 😁. Would really love to make one for you buddy, but I'm not so sure about the shipping, haven't tried it before.
@@Dcolony I will pay for shipping No Problem just think about it would be a nice 66 birthday present
I would really love to do it buddy if that will make your birthday awesome. The problem is the model is heavy and fragile, I would end up feeling bad if it didn't reached you in one piece 😭
Its ok man Ill have time to do this soon and space I'm just lazy lol you keep doing your thing and I can watch your videos and learn You keep going strong D
That's a relief buddy, advance happy birthday! I appreciate the support 🙏
Hey, what kind of grout do you always use? I used to use gypsum and it's frustrating how fast it is thickening and not pourable because if the mixture is too thin, the end product is too porous
I use ABC tile grout buddy. I featured it on this short vid

Nice dudeeeee🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thanks buddy! 😁
Do you plan to reunite the two colonies? Or keep them permanently seperated?
Great video!
Maybe try to experiment about it buddy, since I already confirm most reasons why I split the colony 4 months ago.
Hello! I recently found a strange type of ants in my yard. I dug up the nest and put it in a jar. Idk if I got the queen or not but I did get broods. My question is what type of ants are they? Small but not tiny, bodies are dull (not shiny) and they are all black except the tips are white on antennas. They are docile. I found them in the ground under a plant near an oak tree. They seem very reclusive. Only one or two ants foraging. Not a line of them. Not very many either (like fire ants) so no swarm of them when I dug them up. Maybe I found a new species. lol I can send you video of them if you want.
I would love too see if I can help buddy, but you can also check the ant wiki for list of available ants in your country you can get an id there or some hints.
@@Dcolony I have tried that. Sadly nothing really looks like them.

Congratulations to the wimner! Hey buddy I have a question, what type of sand do you use when making some diy ant nest?
I'm buying the fine sand they use on aquariums buddy. I get it at àquascaping store
@@Dcolony Thanks!
Thanks so much! I appreciate the support buddy!
I was your 1k like
Wow! Appreciate it a lot buddy thanks! 🙏

Hey, I am making plans to use ants as feeders for poison dart frogs since fruit flies escape far too easily. As an expert, can you recommend to me any species of ant that is small, (about 1/8 of an inch at the most) unequipped with stingers or other defenses, and reproduces really quickly?
I'd say tetramorium like the ants on this vid buddy as they're very docile. Crematogaster sp would be great too.
Super🎉😂❤
Thanks buddy! 🫡
How often do you give them water and how and how much?
Drinking water is a must buddy so it should be always available for them. If you mean the nest, just water it if it looks dry. You can tell by comparing it to the hills around it which is so light cause of dryness.
Is it to early to go ant queen hunting? I'm in Croatia, europe. Thanks!
I'm not familiar with the location buddy, but ants usually starts to fly on a hot humid day most of the time summer. The best time to take note is a few days after the first strong rain. Good luck buddy hope this helps!
@@Dcolony thanks for answer!
I like this set up so much 😭. Looks like the winner isn't in the comsec yet.
I'm glad you like it buddy! 🫡 Yes but I got an email from robalcantara just waiting for him to confirm it here.
Give me please and von please

My ANT queen died, and I still cry in my room
Sorry for your royal loss. Did she have a established colony? Or was it just a caught one that never made it to workers? (Or some third option 😅)
Sorry to hear that buddy, but that's part of the hobby just try and try and you'll eventually get one to succeed. 🫡
I bought her. She was 60 bucks. She didn’t even have workers.😭
That's unfortunate buddy, if you're just starting just wait for nuptial flights for free queen ants.I'm not not sure with your location, but ants usually starts to fly on a hot humid day most of the time summer. The best time to take note is a few days after the first strong rain. Good luck buddy hope this helps!
And I already bought my test tubes so I’m getting prepared
Will the next video be about the weaver ant colony?
Yes buddy.
How do you transport ants from the test tube to an anthill?
If they're still on a testube that's easy buddy, just place the tube in the ant hill they'll move on their own if the new ant farm met all the requirements as their living quarters.
@@Dcolony what are the requirements?
Carpenter ants
🫡
Yo dude I was wondering I am thinking of becoming a ant keeper how do I get a queen from outside without buying?
I've never bought queen ant my self buddy, I'm just hunting queen's. Just search online maybe you can find thread of nuptial flight season near your area. I'm from the Philippines and the best month to hunt is from may to August. In differs on places so do a research for easier hunting buddy, just a tip queen ants fly most on hot and humid day. Some at night.
guess whos back
Welcome back buddy! 🫡
Im starting to believe hat you cant get a 50k ant colony with just one queen you need a super colony
You can buddy with a single queen Asian marauder ants and solenopsis geminata can reach 100k workers. 🫡
I want an ant nest but I can't afford them, and I'll be going homeless soon...
Oof, woulda been fun to watch but I don't do AI voice.
So sorry bud!

What is a good starter ant, climate ist middle europe, germany
I'm not from Germany but I never looked into ant species when I started my colonies, I just went out when they were flying and got me some queens (some I lost naturally, a few were due to my own error) but I now have 5 colonies. [2 black, 3 red]
All my ants are only just starting to wake back up as the weather is warming, and my red ants that I found last year so far only have a very small number of workers.
While I know other parts of the world have leafcutter or weaver or seed eating ants, I don't think there's any of that where I live so I'm not too worried about not being able to provide them with specialist things that colonies like that may need.
Start with what's specie available around you buddy, that's the best way to earn experience. From what I've heard lasius is pretty good starting colony, check it out if it's available in your area.
My ants arnt eating i tryed to give them fruitflus or redrunners or meat but they dont take it
Maybe they don't need protein yet buddy, check if they have larvae present as the larvaes and queen is the only member who needs protein. If they're somehow present just Let them relax in a quiet dark place and try it again after several days.
Hi im Cyrus 👋 can you help me ?? My queen is not eating 😭 what if my queen died and her worker ant please help me how to solve it 😊 im only 11 years old
If it's a newly caught queen buddy, you should identify it first. If she's a claustral queen no need to feed her until she had her 1st batch of workers, if semi claustral queen, you should feed her every 3 to 4 days.
Perfect advice 💯
My ANT queen died, and I’m very sad
@@FirecraxJax I'm sorry for your loss😞
@@aishayahye6043 thank you
how to catch a queen ?
Try your luck on nuptial flights buddy, check some tutorials here on yt.
There's aren't enough ant TH-cam's and some of them are being banned and some are dying out:(
What do you mean buddy?
Can you give me a ant colony
I wish I could send you buddy, but it's illegal to send from my place.
can I get a prize
Stay tuned and try your luck on the next give away buddy. 🫡

I really like the videos on your channel! I'm also making videos about the ecosystem, about ants and other animals and insects, I hope everyone will welcome it!!!
That's so nice buddy, keep it up! 🫡
U didnt take into consideration wat if u have to open one of the nests? And those blind spot tunnel between the nests u can see 👀
I think about that for some time buddy, like setting the nest with magnets so they'll be removable. Or lifting the level of the nest lid from the block so I can open them anytime. But the time you open an ant nest of this colonies size, you'll not be able to return it without crushing/killing lots of ants between the nest and glass. So the time you open it is the time to move them too so I'd cancel the idea. Plus base on my knowledge for keeping this colony for 4 years I'm confident enough that I won't need to open their nest in around 2 years. So we're good.
