So, I was thinking about getting the Discus and I wanted to ask here before I buy it. As I intend to use it for my C. Vicinus Queen who is about to have workers. I’m keeping this short and simple: What is your opinion of the TarHeel Ants Discus Formicarium, and would you recommend it to others?

I love my two. They work great, the ants love them and the visibility is pretty good! I had my young (they have like 900 workers now) Camponotus colony in one in 2018, and when they outgrew it in 2019 I reused it for a different Camponotus colony. Both have done amazingly.

Thank you! (I thought I would get no replies so this is a big help)
