- In this video I'm moving my Pheidole Pallidula colony into a new setup. They need a new setup because this ant colony is not doing so great. My Pheidole Pallidula has had no progression and no growth in the last few months. Moving them back to basics is a good idea.

I like sad music what can I say. There are those times that the music just 'fits'. In this video I feel like the music is perfect for this video. It adds a sense of drama and emotional tone to the video. For me this is what I like most. It's sometimes a shame I can't make my old, just music and ants, videos anymore. I still love them so much. To my opinion ants are very special creatures and deserve special attention. My name is not Esthetic for nothing. Aesthetic means the beauty of nature and I think ants fall into that categorie. My goal will always be to show case the ants not as pets, but as amazing organisms who live on this Planet. We as ant youtubers have the obligation to spread more awareness about these creatures. Get people to like and love them and show the world have beautiful and passionate ant keeping can be. I almost feel that now I'm making videos ant keeping is becoming an artform. I hear you thinking 'EA what did you have in your coffee this morning'. Let me know what your opinion is on this matter.
yes tru xd
the dislikers are just the ones that got tears in them eyes bcs the sad music and pressed wrong button
I have Pheidole Pallidula colony and today i got 7 workers!)
I've had some ants have trouble laying (or they were just hiding the brood). So I then started heating the room they were in (with an electric heater) more since they're a heat loving species. And I gave them and external water-source. A few days later I spotted some eggs/larvae. It might be a small thing like that. So I suggest you ask someone very experienced in keeping them.
Yes definitly heating will help they have an external water source now with the test tube.
there's larvae in the wakooshi nest in the vid actually :)
and I think they did have atleast some brood during the time, because their workers have a very short time span
do you have some Ant/beetle gelatin? Since they aren't usually interested in sugars
also LOL I have the same oven
Some clips were old clips sooo can u link a timestamp. It a nice oven😅
Feed them a lot
I do it to
I will! I hope I get my own liquid feeders soon.
I do have a Pheidole pallidula colony . I got them with 9 workers in beggining of august . At this point they have 10 majors, around 250 minors and there is hundreds of eggs lrave and pupae . The colony is currently in founding size antsaus nest connected to outworld made from godmorgon outworld .
Wow that's a large colony! Do you heat them?
@@EstheticAnts interestingly enough i didnt heat them any time i had them . They have been just growing at a steady rate and then they have just exploded .
Hmmm okay haha
Don't have a good memory of these guys, after I got them i placed them in an outworld but then they started crossing right over my barrier and over my desk so i had to put the setup in an aquarium with a water bottom
Nice video!! :)
Honingdauw en proteïne bronnen(fruitvliegen en stukjes van meelwormen) zijn prima voor pheidole. Ook levende fruitvliegen aanbieden is handig. Ze moeten ook kunnen jagen aangezien het een agressieve soort is.
Ze deden er 2 uur over een dode naar binnen te brengen, levend is misschien te hoog gegrepen😅
I have my Pheidole Pallidula colony and we have today 7 workers!)
I really like this video. I totally I agree on what you said about tubs & tubes set-ups and I like how you recommended AntsAustralia's video on them. You've earned my respect.
Yaaay well it's just be best guide on antkeeping ever, can't lie about that.
I know I’m late but currently I have pheidole colony witch I believe to be pheidole dentata, they have about 12 workers with a good amount of brood for the colony’s size and are currently moving into a new test-tube since their original one ran mostly dry, I’m also debating about trying to find or buy another queen of the species as I heard pheidole colonies willl gladly accept more queens of the same species. Also in the future when the colony is big enough (20-50 workers and majors) I’m planning on moving them into one of your small sized ant nests featured at 1:33 I bought from one of your resellers since I don’t live in Europe. I wish the best of luck to your and my pheidole colony(s)!
Thanks man! Just make sure to keep them in a test tube until at least 100 workers
you should keep them in the tube untill around 30-50 workers because that much space at a young age will stress them out alot
Great video 👍
Tyyy!
Omg nice video, so you have a so many subscribers and your channel have a six month, omg is so owesome
Thanks man! It's going well haha
Hey man, some suggestions by me:
1. You said the test tube was taken from your Camponotus nicobarensis colony. Have you cleaned it thoroughly? All the pheromones released by the Nicos could disturb your Pheidole colony.
2. I didn’t see any cover for the test tubes. Might be because of the filming but make sure they are protected from the light. Red foil might not be enough since some colonies can still see red light. Better to use something like aluminium foil or dark paper.
3. Have you tried swapping the carbohydrate and protein source? Different species like different food. Try honey/ sugar water instead of your premade syrup. Also try if they prefer other insects to the fruit flies you give them.
Finally, where did you purchase the outworld?
All the best!
1. Never thought about that, I cleaned it good tho.
2. I wasn't planning on putting on a cover since a lot of people say that it does not matter if you keep them dark or light. Don't know if that true.
3. I tried morio worms, they were not into that, i tried honey and they also did not like that. I'm gonna give them a liquid feeder soon and fill that up with sugar water to see if they like that.
The outworld is shait I would not recommend it, it's a cheap one from China.
@@EstheticAnts I have the same issue with morioworms... I always thought they were just like bigger mealworms but all of my (founding) colonies paid no interest. I keep 5 species so I thought I would have at least some luck (myrmica, lasius, camponotus, pheidole and messor)
Yeah I'm now giving them fruitflies they seem to like that alot
I have a p.noda colony for a week with around 50 workers and they eat a lot in 1 week they ate 2 medium sized crickets and 3 small crickets and they drink a lot of sugars
Wow that's a lot maybe I need to feed them more.
My Pheidole Crassicornis colony eats at LEAST one cricket a day lol. I honestly am hoping your Pheidole explode in growth and do well and grow like mine have for me.
Wow that's a lot! How big is your colony?
@@EstheticAnts unfortunately they are down to about 500 to 700 I believe. At one point there was 1000 plus but an accident happened and my whole formicarium fell!!! So I lost about half the colony, and I just am now getting them back to their former glory, I also just got my first female alates that hatched this past week.
@@nicholasstrano7308 ohhh.... pretty sure they will grow fast again!
@@EstheticAnts they definitely will, I am positive of that. I’m sure yours will as well I can’t wait to see more videos!
Thanks next update will be in a month or two haha
To sad that they have a hard time. Hopefully the starts to get a grip and grows well. Really great video btw 😄😄🙌🏻
Thanks man! I want to see your pheidole soon!
nice video bro!
Thankyouu
I have a pheidole palliluda queen with one worker in a test tube in my outworld, their water is half empty. This morning i found the queen staggering around the outworld while the worker frantically ran around, I think its either water or lack of heat in my room but i put them inside a very moist test tube setup and put that in the warmest place in my room, the queen isnt staggering around anymore but im worried.....
Just leave them alone and pray for the best.
@@EstheticAnts If this doesn't work then this will be the second time ive failed to raise pheidole palliluda, last time the workers randomly killed the queen one day, ill have to give up on this great species if i fail twice.
Or try again!
I have Pallidula too C:
Yaay
@@EstheticAnts I love ur channel and I hope urs gets better and does well! C:
@@retroesports_ ohh thanks buddy!
Feed them a lot and have them on 26 °C, my are growing like crazy after the hibernation :D
Okay then I hope for the best!
I actually bought this species from esthetic ants a few weeks ago I hope I don't have the same issue
Whaaat?Ur dutch? i don´t expected that, your accent is good, also is the video
😅😅😂
Great video like normal, good job
Thanks friend😁
Great video! I actually have a question : how much time does it usually take for the young adults to become dark in color, once they've finished their pupa stage? Thanks in advance.
I have no idea, a week or so. Not long.
SUP!
Wow these are my dream type of ants can you tell me when they fly
Also does your store have ant nectar and what is your store
Yes. www.estheticants.com
Where did you buy that sand?
Petshop
I have a colony of pheidole palidula since 4 november. Of had 13 workers. Now there are no workers left. I feed the queen one fruitfly once a week. Does somone has a advice tot me?
In a test tube?
@@EstheticAnts yes i have tem in a testtube
Okayy
Just have patience I think
Great video by the way what do you use to keep your ants from escaping from your really nice out world
It has a lid with mesh.
Ik dacht al dat ik een Nederlands accent hoorde =D toen zag ik de oven.
hahahahaha
i think the problem was that you moved them to a nest too soon.
100%
Lol I just saw you’re Dutch
Yep
Great video my man!
To be honest I think you are not feeding them enough. Maybe a few fruit flies every 4 days would suffice. Also also keep the ant nectar in a piece of parchment paper and nearer to the nest entrance.
I hope these tips help you. Good luck with your colony.
Great advice! I'll try that for sure. What about morio worms?
@@EstheticAnts I have never used any kind of larvae for my ants, and idk what morio worms is lol
Big mealworms haha
Exited!
Hype
I am very interesting in the discord 😏
Hehe😜
You should do an 750 subscriber special when it comes
Nah 1000 is the new milestone.
You will reach it soon!
@@mckmaster08 yeah we will see haha
Je bent nederlands of niet??
