Hi,
I have a 65 gallon tank and some 20 gallon tanks at home. What are your suggestions of plants, lighting, and other bugs to make a good natural set-up. Also, I keep on debating in my head what species of hand should harbour this natural set-up. I don't really want a formica colony to inhabit it, would Tetramorium or Pheidole be a good choice, or tapinoma sessile? I live in Maryland and I want a species that will be very active on the surface of the terrarium and will last a long time (6 years at the least). What species would you recommend and what plants. The set-up would be in my garage which gets a little light throughout the day consistently. So the plants would have to be shade loving. What do all of you think? Thanks!
