0:00Two queen ants get contrasting homes: a lush terrarium and a barren desert enclosure.
1:17Eggs develop through larval and pupal stages before the first workers emerge.
5:00The colonies face a tower challenge with candy waiting at the top.
9:36Mold spreads through the Greenies' enclosure, sharply reducing the colony.
12:36Adam and Roberto find leafcutter ants and their large nest in Costa Rica.
13:12The connecting bridge opens on day 100; the outcome follows in the final minutes.

Two queen ants, two very different homes, and a jungle expedition running alongside them: Aquarium Info has plenty happening even during an upload break. The channel now stands beyond four billion lifetime views, with its elaborate animal habitats supplying this week's viewing rather than anything newly posted.

The busiest is "1,000 Ants vs. 1,000 Ants (Rich vs. Poor)", now at roughly 55 million views. Its lush Greenies enclosure and barren Wastelanders habitat turn colony-building into a challenge vlog, complete with a candy-retrieval tower and a maze. But the controlled setup doesn't stay controlled: a cockroach enters one enclosure, while mold spreads through the other. Meanwhile, Adam and guide Roberto trek through Costa Rica, eventually finding a column of leafcutter ants and their enormous nest.

The ant video is drawing more daily views than the fish-tank bed build, whose tide-pool engineering remains another substantial source of attention. The sponsored "Raising 1,000 Caterpillars (They Turn to Goo)" also continues gathering views, pairing Jamie's custom insect homes with Adam's search for a wild butterfly in Olympic National Park.

Across the channel, daily viewing is running below its usual pace, and the subscriber total slipped over the week. Among nearby animal channels, Natural Habitat Shorts and AGuyAndAGolden had substantially larger weekly viewing totals; Aquarium Info's was close to Rocky Kanaka's. Here, the biggest ongoing draw is that miniature ant world, where even a candy tower becomes a major construction project.
