Re: Magic's Acromyrmex journey
Magic I'm so happy for you! I'm sure these will thrive, your setup is fantastic so I'm sure there will be no trouble at all. As for the pipe thing maybe they're moving it to the other box? One thing I learned from the death of my acromymex colony, is that you need to be involved with their lives as little as possible, so don't make any irrational decisions, without discussing it with one of the nerds, Erm professionals on this forum first.
Best of luck!!

Perfect conditions, lots of options, can see them anywhere but a small section of pipe and that's where they go! Bloody typical ha ha.
Are the lights only on for viewing then switched off magic?

They are more likely Togo to the darker area if the conditions are suitable. Having slight differences in the tanks isn't necessarily a bad thing magic, gives them choice. Getting your first colony is very exciting!
