Established colony "Atta" for sale £175

Post by theboyw » Sun May 01, 2016 8:11 am

Due to a pending house move this year I regrettably have to sell my established and healthy colony of leaf cutting ants, these are atta and the colony will continue to grow rapidly but there are enough chambers with the set up to keep you going for a few years. the queen is often visible and the soldiers are so impressive huge things.
the colony could quite easily be set up as a sealed pod construction.
whats included...
leaf cutting ants and all the chambers and connecting tubes £175 , the colony alone cost more than this so a very realistic price, the aquarium is not included in this price!
Aquarium "4ft rio 240 1 year old", filter, light unit "aqua one led plant grow", water heater and custom made lid "6mm acylic with vents", £150
the stand is not included in the above price...
The whole set up if brought together is £300 no offers.
there is also fish in the aquarium that will be removed
Will post a pic on the next page...
Collection from Horsham west Sussex

Off to work soon so will try and get a pic later when I get home, the last chamber on the left hand side is where the fungus is, it's very healthy and growning very well, also last night I noticed a soldier patrolling around the set up, was watching for ages.

How many fungus gardens are there? How big is the fungus approximately

An educated guess I would say 0.75 ltr , currently one fungus garden that is visually growing each week.
hope this helps.
