I'm still trying to track down a scifi book I read as a kid where a rich guy buys a huge aquarium that has four ant colonies at the corners. They fight and eventually I think one escapes and kills the owner.

"Sandkings" - it's a very famous short story by George R.R Martin. Also had a tv episode of outer limits based on it

Thanks so much! I've since read other George R.R. Martin scifi (from the same universe, it appears), I really wish he had stuck to that.
