Description
BlackAnt – Modular Nest S (7 × 7 cm, White Tunnels)
Compact modular nest for young ant colonies. The Nest S in the BlackAnt system is the smallest nesting module offered by AntCenter — ideal for colonies at an early stage of development.
Its construction is based on proven AntLove solutions, ensuring full compatibility, while the matte black housing combined with white tunnels gives the nest a modern, elegant appearance.
This is an excellent choice both for beginners starting their ant keeping journey and for experienced keepers who want to closely control colony growth in a small, safe space.

Ant Keeping Tip
The safest way to introduce ants into the nest is by using the BlackAnt test tube adapter. This allows the colony to move from the test tube into the nest on its own, without stress or shaking.
What’s Next?
To build a complete BlackAnt modular system, consider adding:
- a BlackAnt arena
- a BlackAnt test tube adapter
- a vertical support (if you plan upward expansion)
- food appropriate for your ant species
Expand the nest step by step as your colony grows.
