Very Interesting
This is a very interesting ant farm.
Watch the ants dig out gel instead of dirt.
The gel makes it stronger, and the tunnels will not cave in. Not only is the gel their home, its also their food and water!! So you don't have to worry about adding anything to the farm. One down fall would be after a few weeks the plastic farm gets dirty. The ants waste builds up and smears all over the top of the tunnels, and sticks to the sides of the farm. Also the used up gel that they bring to the top gets near overflowimg and there isnt any room left for more, so they may get lazy after a while.

But all in all I would say...if you like any farms, go for it! Because you can wash it out, let it dry and save it. You can also add more ants after the first set died, but you can't destroy the old tunnels, so the new ones just build onto the old ones.

Gel Ant Farm
So far, we love it, its complete novelty for the first month. Ants can be mailed to you and they are large healthy ants. Only 10% die from shipping, not bad for a pack of 25.

Only downfall is after they build their canals, it would be nice to buy a refill kit or something.

but it makes a great figt and Office desk novelty.
