ANTS IN THE TANK

[lolomo12]

Will the ants attack the moulter in the moss

I have read where ants have been found munching on molters, sometimes killing them.

Will they eat the crabs under the moss preparing for molt
?

The exoskeleton would be hard for them to bite through unless they got within the premolters shell to the soft abdomen.

Did you read the posts in the link about ants and the approach and suggestions made to the others?

Should I remove the premolter in the moss and clean the tank and the moss??

[ladybug15057]

If the moss pit is in a separate container from the rest of the tank (shower caddy, etc.) take the whole thing out and place it in an iso tank that is already within the proper humidity and temperature ranges. A deep clean of the main tank is a must at this point.

The ants are now gone I just remove the food in the tank and after one day I try to look at the tank their all gone tnx for the help

It would certainly be amazing if removing the food would be all it took to get the ants out of the tank? So you have sifted through the substrate and all to make sure they are gone and no eggs were laid?
