Default new food for my plants

Hello every one seeing at it is the meeting time for the ants around my area I thought I would capture a couple queens and see if I could start a few ant colonies I think it would be a better food source for my plants then the fish I have been feeding them seen as they cannot capture anything for themselves because I keep them in terrarium one colony is established I will keep them in a 10 gallon fish tank with dirt I will keep everybody update on how the colony is doing and how my plants are doing

you can try to start a small ant breeding ground with N.bicalcarata, for most of them i notice most of the ants accumulate on that species more than any other species of nepenthes
