Reevey Acromyrmex Aquarium setup

[Andyj]

Congrats and well done. How did you cope transfering them? i'm not looking forward to the task but i have some ideas. Hope Sean has included some detailed instruction.

Brilliant Steve,glad they arrived safe and sound.

hi wasn't to bad transferring them gently tipped them out and waited for them to move them self's the rest of the way.
Hope they move out of the tube back in to 1 of the tubs

[Andyj]

Thats reassuring. I was considering putting them in the freezer for 10 minutes to slow em down. (Joking). Magics also moved into the tubes, i wonder if mine will. Anyway good luck.

update still in the pipe and not cutting yet have changed food have privet and rose leaf and rose petals and sprouts in there have put it in all tubs so they have a choice
cheers reevey

Fungus looks a bit beaten up from trip. (Sean did you put a heat pack in there?)
Should be fine, fungus is alive and humidity looks great. Acros can take a while to start feeding but if they have carried the fungus then you shouldnt worry. I would think you should stick with Privet leaves, fresh every day, until they start feeding. Also offer some orange peel and put a grape in every second day. Once they start cutting you can start cycling through the standard lists of food. Let us know daily the status of your colony. At this stage 24 hours is a life time. If they havent cut in next 48 hours we need to look at other measures but for now I'd pretty much let them settle.

hi guys update they did cut a bit of rose leaf Friday night but have not cut anymore since the temp is 24 and 99% humidity in tub and fungus is still in tube,they are all just sitting in the front tube
I have rose leaves, rose petal, privet, sprouts do think I should try something else starting to get worried
Here pic of them in from tub

Is the fungus in the pipe with the ants? Is the set up in darkness when your not viewing?

[reevey]

hi fungus is in a t piece just before the ants in the picture but for some reason most of them have moved away from it. the only darkness it has is from the gray t piece do u think tub could be to wet

[Deansie26]

I'd try covering the set up or at least some of it, might not be a coincidence there in the t piece, they might want darkness Steve
