Aloha lads,

 

I'm looking for an ant species where the colony grows very fast in numbers and I also want the colony to inbreed very strong so the numbers of queens increase as well. Currently on my watch list are Pheidole Megacephala and Paratrechina Longicornis. It would be cool if you'd recommend a species.

where do you live? that will determine what you can get

Anplolepis, Linepithema, Technomyrmex, Ochetellus . From your beginning words, I'm assuming you're in Hawaii. I'm not sure if you have Myrmica rubra there? But if yes, those are also super colonial

Germany. I'm allowed to buy almost all species.
