- This is one of the coolest terrariums I've ever built for my pet ants! A brand new crystal cave temple-themed terrarium has joined the Antiverse (our Ant Room), and it is destined to become the future home for the Golden Empire, my pet supercolony of yellow crazy ants. This complex terrarium build was created specifically for the Golden Empire, and features a rocks, plants, crystals, and a slew of pretty awesome technology never tried before on this channel. Hope you guys enjoy this new terrarium. What should we call it? Ant love forever! This video was shot in 4K Ultra HD resolution. #GoldenEmpire

Greetings Ant Lovers/AC Family, thanks for watching today! If you enjoyed today's episode hope you remember to leave a LIKE, SHARE the video, and SUBSCRIBE (hit the BELL and select ALL) if you haven't yet. So what should we call these new mystical ant territories which the Golden Empire shall be moving into?
The crystal cove
moria mines
The Golden Temple / Crystal Ruins
Golden ark
Like the ark from Indiana Jones
THE CRYSTAL ALTAR
“The Citrine Citadel” would be good because citrine is a Yellow crystal!
Oooo I love this one, it feels both mythical and futuristic
Sup
This comment needs more likes, this is the perfect name for The Golden Empire
does kind of sound like latrine tho
i think a mix of Yellow and Red with some White will be good. then it be more of a color...... i just thought of it and most people will know it. But i think if they was color like a Rainbow, then the caves be call The Color Caves. most will know from Rainbow Brite.
Theia’s Temple, would be a cool name. Reason being with Theia being the Greek Titaness of Gold, Silver, and Gemstones. So I believe it fits real well. (Was Theia's Garden)
*Love the idea Walpurga
Very true
Agreed!
Agreed
get this up there! AC Senate, get a look at this!
True I also love Greek mythology
Mikey, You need your own TV show on National Geographic or Travel Channel or Animal Planet. Your passion for wildlife and your enthusiastic voice would make great TV and expose your love of Myrmecology to the world. Much LOVE to the ACFam
NatGeo and other TV networks are on their way out, TH-cam is the way of the future
He is already in a certain TH-cam video of national geographic
Or natgeo wild
I think he can buy one, he is a CEO of a company and the creator of the most famous 🐜 channel that ever existed on 🌏
this guy makes enclosures more luxurious than my own apartment
Then run for a antlife by antscanada
Sometimes watching this channel makes me want to be an ant
@@jamiehorton2669 I know right
👁👄👁 Then decorate ur apartment with pillows

So many likes!
Pls go sub to my channel.
yeah....
yeah before he started to *SPEAK* Clickbait
(not in this video thankfully)
I remember
Oh yeah
true XD
Oh wow ... that looks so gorgeous! I can't wait to see the Golden Empire move in.
Thank you! 🙏❤
@@AntsCanada please talk to me or i unsub ok?
@GODWIN VINCENT GEVICE Moe but they will have babies ......l.
@GODWIN VINCENT GEVICE Moe bruh
@GODWIN VINCENT GEVICE Moe huh!!? What about population control?
'Glittering Caves" from The Lord of the Rings, Gimli was the first Lord of the Glittering caves after the War of the Ring
Ah yes a well cultured person
I agree
Oooooh I love! Could also call it Aglarond since that's how Gimli named the new settlement there!
I’m with The Lord of the rings nerd, for I am his brethren, his kin.
@Brainz Brawn what about it?
" Caves of Tenochtitlan " Sounds cool with all the aztec like theme
Oooooohhh, I mean, we could do something more creative, like, idk, lands of the golden gods, since the aztecs believed at gods
@M.J. Films nah the Aurora Bore-AntLands is the best name for this terrarium.
Aztec themes are cool
How about Elysium? Elysium in greek mythology is like a paradise where gods send favored greek heroes the righteous, and the heroic, where they would remain after death, to live a blessed and happy life, and indulging in whatever employment they had enjoyed in life. It is like heaven. As we know what happened to the golden empire, it resurrected after the infestation so I think the name befits this terrarium.
Yes thats it
YES! PLEASE LET'S NAME IT ELYSIUM!
Everytime I hear Elysium i get Xenoblade Chronicles 2 flashbacks XD
I feel so sorry for how long you googled this 😔
Percy Jackson Fans have entered the chat***
"The Golden Grotto" grotto being a cave in a park or garden which is basically what the terrarium is
You get a like from me. This better be the name of the new habitat.
I think you should replace golden with gilded because the golden empire swarms the lands covering them in gold or gilding them
Yes the golden grotto that is perfect on its own but with the golden ants it will be completed
"Garden of the Hesperides" In Greek mythology, the sacred garden of Hera from where the gods got their immortality
Since Golden empire seems to be Immortal surviving many obstacles in the past
I agree.
Name: The Elysian Caves
Reason: The bluish purplish color of the glass shards looked otherworldly and mysterious and which I connect with to supernatural spirits or souls and looking back at the history of the golden empire the shards can be representated as the souls of past ancestors.
Moreover the complimentary color of gold is the bluish purplish shade and both are symbols of royalty. So taking inspiration from Elysium from Greek mythology a place where the souls who performed great deeds go. I think the Elysian Caves fits.
The only problem I had was that Greek has no relation to yellow crazy ants but I was not able to find a similar legend which fit better so you all free to try.
The best suggestion I've seen so far
Name Suggestion: Blackreach, the massive underground caves beneath Skyrim
Man of culture
Commenting a lot to raise this comment
This
Do it
Mikey we need blackreach
The channel is quality, real quality
Impressed! Ant hunting th-cam.com/video/UaZshCrK83M/w-d-xo.html
Name suggestion: “Midas’s Valley”. Midas was an ancient king who turned everything he touched to gold. You should name the sacrificial area the “Sacrificial Pedestal”
Or Temple of Midas
@@huskierules Cool name
don't see how this terrarium is related to gold though
@@wangxuanliehnqav the ant colony itself was named The Golden Empire
@@wangxuanliehnqav ur asking the real questions
Water beasts: Dwarf Orange Mexican Crayfish
@@AA-em9gb stfu bot
spittin FACTS no printer
A dwarf and a Mexican? I don’t think they’d fit, and is the orange to feed them?
@@pjschaaf414 nah the mexican is orange
Idk what that is but I love it
Maybe Temple of the Golden Sun? Referring to the temple, the light phases, and the color and name of the species of ants.
Edit: grammar and factual mistake
That is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yEAH GRATE IDEA
Good choice
It’s yellow crazy ants not gold crazy ants though...
@@Gremlin-Glizzy yeah whoops, I meant like how he calls them the golden empire :,)
"Cueva de los Cristales" is a giant crystal cave in Mexico, this might be a cool name.
Yss
Agree
Name it the heaven temples
Damn this setup is sick
"Theia's Garden" Theia is a greek goddess of gold, silver...
So basically goddess wealth?
I like that!
yes I love it
Perfect
@@Gremlin-Glizzy it’s goddess of wealth
All of the terrariums he built are very impressive ngl
I really like the names "El Dorado Caverns" meaning gold caves, "Theia's Garden" after the goddess of crystals and gold, and "The Mystic Caverns"
Next up: AntsCanada will have ants in a terrarium with a city built inside.
Also, cool name idea: Xibalba. It's the name of the Underworld in Mayan mythology, meaning "place of fear". It could be a really cool nod to how the Golden Empire literally came back from the dead after their mite infestation. You could also call it Lethe, which was, in Greek mythology, the Underworld river of forgetfulness and reincarnation. Spirits would drink from the water to forget their old lives before crossing the waters to be reborn. It would be a cool symbol of the Golden Empire's reincarnation, their rise to greatness after their near extinction. It could also be a really cool homage to the New Year; 2020's been rough for the entire world. There's been tragedy after tragedy, so let's drink from the River Lethe, let's leave our old burdens behind us and forage a new path into 2021, a rebirth for the Golden Empire, and a rebirth for us all.
Yesss
This territory can be called the Golden Ruins
Agreed
Yep I like it
Temple of the golden beasts
I like it
I agree
Thra. Thra is the fictional land that the Jim Henson movie, The Dark Crystal, takes place in.
That what I thinking naming the dark crystal first time I see this!!😁😎
Bestest idea by far
Short, easy to remember and cool, totally love the idea!
Yes
PLZ THIS
AntsCanada is another breed, I love your videos man and the care you put into not only these videos but the terrains these ants live in. Your love for ants reaches far!!!
My fav part in the terrarium is the crystals bexause it looks so cool when they light up in the dark
Ikr
Anybody else getting blue tiberium feel from those crystals?
I agree
Killifish are actually small and colorful. They eat insects so would love to hunt for some ants! There are so many species I'm sure you find the right one. Only downside is they don't live very long so a breeding pair should be added.
I like that idea
Good idea
how bout the "Golden Plateau"
seems fitting for the Golden Empire
that sounds so fitting 🥰
Good idea
Nah the Aurora Bore-AntLands is the best name. Look at those lights!
This setup should be called “The Ruins of Arthropoda”...
I like your face
Why, thank you...
6:31 Fluon is not waterproof. It has to be kept as bone dry as possible, or it fails. In a setup like that it will fail immediately from the high humidity and being sprayed with mist.
You would think he has more knowledge about that then you
@@jaritorigami6212 well he also has ants so maybe
@@jaritorigami6212 Not really. Anyone who has kept ants for a while would know that Mikey does get things wrong quite a lot. He has called majors supermajors, called Pheidole Carebara, claimed thousands of ants are millions. I am pointing it out so people do not think fluon is actually waterproof, as that is a great way to lose a colony. Also, I use fluon a lot in my setups, and have tested it with humidity and watched it fail. Perhaps Mikey read that it is water *based* and mistook that as being water tolerant.
Maybe name the terrarium “Astral Cove” because the crystals remind me of the stars in the night sky
Every ant kingdom getting their new homes meanwhile Black Knights
: yeah we're okay
i bet he will make a huge house for the black knights on his new house.. especially that 2 story ant space
They'll be up next. Hang tight.
This is for TH-cam algorithm.
This too
I like how the you've gone beyond with this one and used fiber optics to light up your crystals, and the how the mist really turns up the wow factor at night. This is a true ant enthusiast to watch and the community is great!
We should call it, "The Crystal All Tepetl". All Tepetl means City in Aztec
This is a really good idea
Ah yes, someone who understands Mexican history, bow
Altepetl
@@negativeinfinity4387 thanks :)
JOJO FANS INCOMING!
i feel like the "crystals" should be painted with a transparent yellow paint that way they glow golden
Or change the lights to yellow
yes
the paint may be lethal to our golden empire.
@@jeb_6689 well i dont think they would be trying to eat paint, but yeah maybe a change of lights underneath then
@@aoj53 that seems alot smarter than my suggestion lol
My suggestions for names: Crystal Caverns, The Lost City, The Golden Altar, and for the waterfall: The Forbidden Falls. As for my favorite part of setup? Easily the caves with the crystals inside. I love how it's dark, unknown, and foreboding in the day, but ghostly and gorgeous at night. It makes me want to go explore them myself!
The more I watch the more my knowledge on ants increases
I learned more on TH-cam than on school
Impressed! Ant hunting th-cam.com/video/UaZshCrK83M/w-d-xo.html
@@AA-em9gb stop spamming Jewish black lover
The lights tho 🤩🤩🤩💎💎💎🐜🐜🐜
Hello Mike E Boost Os💚💚💚💚💚
Hi ac
Hey Mikey /Ants Canada
Thats cool😍😍
Hey mikey
Pls read this! Add a pea puffer to the water feature, it doesn't need it's teeth trimmed so it can just eat ants and bloodworms, and would be a vicious ant predator
I'm for this only if there is enough water volume as I don't know what volume of water it is but if adequate a single pea puffer would be awesome.
@@jonathankool1997 yea pea puffers require a bigger tank than he has even though they are so small
@@jonathankool1997 5 gallons of water im not sure if that’s enough
@@jokesonyou12 5 gallons is doable it is a minimum recommended size and I know people with it. They have heavily planted and we'll maintained tanks. But they would benefit more greatly from more water volume. As would any fish really!
I do love pea puffers! Would be great to see showcased on a TH-cam who specialises in smaller animals to really give them the spotlight.
I love puffer fish🐡💛
My favourite feature of the Crystal cave terrarium is the temple and the altar at the center because of the style and creativity
"The Golden Caverns" seems like a fitting name
bruhhh i was thinking of something similar
i was gonna suggest the golden caves
CRYSTAL VALLEY
slightly generic but nice
I like this name
Why would it be called the Golden caverns if there's no gold
Any concerns about them possibly snorting the crystal?
Name for the ant kingdom suggestion: The gold mine
(Edit) you know I've been reading the comments and they have nemes related to the temple and others related to the caves... So I wonder if you can have a name for the temple and a different name for the caves (and maybe one name for the entire kingdom)
But it has crystals not gold
@@siadsaid6892 well I'm talking about the ants not really the crystals, but crystals can occasionally be found at gold mines
A good name for it whould be "Cavern of the Sun" cavern because of all the Crystal's and caves then Sun for the colony. Love your videos!!
The new terrarium should be called “The Caverns of El Dorado”
Ok Buddy
Maybe the "El Dorado Caverns"
Mhw lmao, that’s pretty smart tho
Sounds like it's from Monster Hunter
Hmm nice
Name for the terrarium: 'El Dorado' which means Ancient city of Gold!
I saw that movie
Malayali ooo
I just said the same. It's fitting in multiple ways.
Nice
but it has crystals instead of gold so "el reino de cristal" instead??
"The Cristal Caverns" would be a cool name
That was literarly what I was ganna say XD
I got it from speed run in roblox (I think that was one of their names T>T
I was about to say the cristal caves
Crystal***
Agreed
It’s much better and more original
I’ve been watching you for years I just recently finally got my first queen ant she hasn’t started laying eggs yet... I think she might be hibernating.
Such a cool terrarium for an ant colony
you've hit it out of the park once again
Never thought to see you here
What i like about the new terrarium is that it gives more space for the golden empire to thrive like you said that the queens are eager to thrive again.
The Lands could be called “Mystical Mines”
Name it the heaven temples
No thank you though
i just watch the video and added my idea for a name. scrolled down looking to see what other names choices there were, i was not surprised to see that you and i came up with the a similar name choice. i said "Ancient Mystical Mines" to your "Mystical Mines" i hope one of ours is chosen as a voting option when that come up, good luck in being pick.
I love that and 'The Mystic Caverns'
Morgan Smith Me too
The feature that I believe to the best addition is the fogger. The form/function balance is perfect. Adds so many functional and aesthetic benefits to lands. Fantastic build!
You could call it the Crystal Caverns. I don't think I have to explain.
I agree with this
Name kinda common tho
Maybe you could call it the “Temple of the Sun?” Since the altar is alway lit up when the ‘sun’ is out. Plus the sun plays into the yellow of the golden empire.
Yes
Ooo voting for this name
Coool
it should be called "Viracocha" Inca god who created the earth, sky, other Inca gods and the the human
Maybe heaven temples
your terrariums are absolutely insane. took your channel to a whole other level. I thought the floating islands were cool but this is even crazier. And your massive terrarium now, pretty crazy. if someone told me 10 years ago that one of the most interesting stories id watch in the future was about ants, and its not an animated movie, I'd of said your nuts, lol.
A name suggestion:
GoldenGlow's Hollow
since the ants are yellow crazy ants, the terrarium glows and its a cave system, so hollow?
any thoughts?
"The City of Gold" is wat the name of the lands should be.
I agree
Yes
So El Dorado
El dorado?
Just saying an ancient statue would look great with the theme.
My favorite feature about the ant set up is how the crystals glow without being unnaturally bright.
Wow, you've really outdone yourself this time. When is the move in date?
"THE TEMPLE OF ILLUMIN-ANTI"
Yesss
Call it Machu Picchu.
I suggest a name for these territory, it is Kumikinang Bato or in English: "Shining Stone or Rock" I want to show this territory have a Tagalog name because previous territories have Spanish names, so this time, let’s make it different
Aeron Ocampoシジ cool name
I like it. Good basis for the name since The Phillipines are a multicultural country.
You could name the setup Xibalba, since they live underground in a mine and thats the Mayan underworld
How about “the creeping crystals“ as a name
"The Temple of Midas" as reference to the Greek mythology of King Midas, the man with the golden touch.
I think ‘Celestial Caverns’ would be a good name for the terrarium.
Since the golden empire is moving into a temple of ruins, how about "El Dorado" for the new name?
Golden empire in the city of gold, I like it.
yes good
We could even call it "The Caverns of El Dorado" to highlight the temple ruins/sacrificial table, the golden empire, and the caves all at once!
"The Celestite Citadel" would be more appropriate since the crystals are a blueish white and thats what Celestite is
I hope that one day when I leave home and am old enough I can have so many awsome pets like this because this is so cool
@@micro11. I can imagine plus you actually have to be creative to come up with cool ideas like this
Why do I feel like they're going to escape somehow
Because ants are smart yes.
And the fact that there's no glass at the front.
@@creativeusername1013 barely any
Cotton buds arent bad for cleaning ears, but occasionally some fool pushs the wax to far in and results in the opposite effect.
@@SaltyTopG ?
@@SaltyTopG tf😭🤣🤣🤣
I wonder how you will transport them to the Mabuhay Farm House🤔🤔🤔
I don't know if you feed weird stuff to the Golden Empire like you would your fire ants, but if you do that altar would be an awesome place to put it!
“Geodesance” I thought would a beautiful name for this world
This territory can be called THE GOLD MINES
"they're like winter x-mas lights"
Appose to those summer x-mas lights? lol
In Australia Christmas is summer so yea they got summer lights probably
My name suggestion is "The Temple of the Sun"
Sounds like ¨Tintin¨ to me. If you don´t know what ¨Tintin¨ is, that´s is one hell of a coincidence.

When tiny ants get bigger terrariums than giant frogs ... 😂
when ant have much bigger house than ours XD
Forreal
@@Ren21798 sooo true
I mean, to be fair, you wouldn't be housing several thousand giant frogs in the same tank, would you?
What I liked most was how the rains blow away the mist. Which may eventually be creepy scene of corpses shrouded in mist.
I'd like to see archer fish Toxotes genus as water beasts. Interesting predator/prey interaction and this colony has a history of population booms. It would help keep numbers down.
I have a good name for the ant colony 'The Topaz Temple'
Crystal Cove. Shout-out to the Scooby-Doo fans
Nice reference
I grew up on that show
@@autobotjazz499 thank 😊
@@depaturearrival6678 you’re welcome
Obviously you should name it after me
The best part of the caves has to be how it looks completely different at night, during the day the old temple ruins part is highlighted, and during the night the caves are highlighted.
"The crystal empire" multiplying golden empire and crystal cave and its seems a fitting name .
@@kevinvaleriomusic they said "The Crystal Empire" not "The Phoenix Empire".
@@kevinvaleriomusic but the ants are already named the Golden Empire.. so it’ll remain just as repetitive as it already is
It looks wonderful, that center plate looks like the Puerto Rico Radioscope or "El Radio Telescopio dd Puerto Rico" in the town of Arecibo. May all who read this have a great day and incoming New Year.
I think you should call it Olympus because of the big mounting thing with the ultar on top of it and the tempels.
How about the The Ruins of pluto
Since google says Pluto was the god of gems and precious minerals
Also a god of death and the underworld, and considering there is a sacrificial altar, that theme kind of fits
You can call the new land the Rainbow Ruins (Rainbow referring to the large variety of colours and diversity of life).
A name could be “ The Holy Grail”
An idea for the names could be the Duchy of Gold, the caves could be the Abyssal Caverns, the ruins could be the rusted Husks
This is sick look at this.
AntsCanada takes care of ants that we AntLovers Adore
AntsCanada takes care of ants as if it was his children
AntsCanada as made the most Awesome place for ants
Also I recommend the place named
“The Crystal Chambers”
In the small pool in the tank there should be a bioluminescent animal, I don’t know what...
Territory name suggestion, “The Golden Temple of the Crystal Caverns,”.
Nah... it’s way too long isn’t it?
How about, “The Crystal Tavern Temple,” ?
This looks so gorgeous how about the "crystal caverns"
The Golden Crystal Cave..
I like that name...
The golden forbidden land
