I am making a vivarium out of a 20 gallon tank and I need to know how large colonies of the species Camponotus anthrax get. Thank you for any help!

Probably not very large, like most Myrmentoma, so definitely under 1000 workers.

Hi there! I went on a 6 month or so hiatus, in part due, and in part cause of the death of my colonies. 

However, I went back to the Sierras, and restarted my collection, which is now as follows:

Aphaenogaster uinta, Camponotus vicinus, Camponotus modoc, Formica cf. aserva, Formica cf. micropthalma, Formica cf. manni, Formica subpolita, Formica cf. subaenescens, Lasius americanus, Manica invidia, Pogonomyrmex salinus, Pogonomyrmex sp. 1, Solenopsis validiuscula, & Solenopsis sp. 3 (new Sierra variant).

While I'm at it, how large do colonies of Campontous vincus get?
