On this page you can choose between an ant family and our different ant colonies species available. The ant families are without queen and brood and therefore suitable for a gel ant farm. On average, these ants are also somewhat larger and therefore very visible in the gel. An ant colony consists of a queen, brood and the first worker ants. You can keep an ant colony in an ant farm with sand, plaster or acrylic.
