Magic's Acromyrmex journey

Post by Magic » Thu Mar 31, 2016 10:36 pm

Hi all .
My Acromyrmex colony arrived yesterday.
So happy with it.
Special thanks to Richard and also to Andrew.

I have put the box with the ants to the new set up last night.
Today they have moved part of the fungus from the box and put it in the pipes, I don't know why ? Maybe they don't like the lights.
I have removed paper towels from the box to make it easer for them to move the rest of the fungus .
The temperature is about 25 and humidity looks like 99 .
Switched the lights off-let see what's next

That's part of the set up. I put the box with ants in the right box.
