I recently ordered a colony of Pheidologeton Diversus with 1 or 2 queens and 500+ workers from a good, reputable seller on another forum. They will be shipped to him on 28th May, and then will be shipped to me. I have a setup waiting, and will upload a video soon of it.

Setup has been completely changed for a new, better (for this species) design. The seller I originally wanted to buy these ants from is not responding to ANY of my emails He has had 1 week. I am swapping supplier, and should her these ants in July-August.

Nice little set up Formica.
Who was the supplier you ordered the ants from?

Nice little set up Formica. Who was the supplier you ordered the ants from? Deansyme. The setup has 3 holes for 30mm tubing (that cost me a lot!) So it's fully expandable

I know he belongs to AHW (?) but I don't know him vary well. Yes that's the guy. He's meant to be a reputable seller, but has let me down a lot! The seller I'm switching too (can't name) should be better.

You should stick with reputable companies, not sellers on forums.

You should stick with reputable companies, not sellers on forums. Yes, but they are all very expensive. The person that imports the ants to the sellers is the same as some Good Companies. I'll see how it goes. The setup seems to be working for the plants

I'd rather pay more for a reliable seller than less for one who just takes your money.

I look forward to reading this journal. These or a similar species are something I'd possibly be interested in keeping one day.
Do you have any plans for when the colony grows? Your current formicarium looks very nice and will probably work well for a good while, but I expect the colony will increase in size exponentially and fairly quickly! The soldiers are a thing of beauty.

Yep, partly one of the reasons I am going to antstore. I am buying a, lets say, gigantic formicarium

I changed my supplier, and am now getting them of a good friend of mine. There will be only a dozen or so workers though, but should (fingers crossed) be arriving next week
