The Ultimate all-in-one starter kit, this beginner kit is perfect for new ant-keepers, and is great for all of our beginner species, as well as most of our intermediate species.

One of the most common mistakes we come across is moving your colony to a formicarium to early, but it is also hard to make slow, gradual steps as it is hard to find a formicarium design or size that fits the colony needs exactly, one solution, especially on the beginning stages (1 to 150) workers, is to slowly increase the space, with this formicarium doing so is very easy, remember ants like tight cozy spaces.

This formicarium that brings the functionality and practicality of test tubes to the next level. It is modular, expandable, easy to care and full of features. We love the fact that you can serve only the areas that need to, best of all its chambers are using a long insert with substrate.

The test tube port is designed to have as little empty space within its tunnels to avoid ants using it as a chamber, encouraging them to keep the port clean so it is only used for traffic. The port aligns perfectly to the back hole opening of our "outside worlds", you can skip the hose between them by gluing it directly on the back with a tiny bit of fish tank safe silicone, this allows you to use the entire inside diameter.

Each kit comes with everything needed to get connected to an "outside world" or any of our formicariums, adapters and connectors.
