Edit: " rules of the house "

These ants are not very easy to keep because they grow very fast in numbers and they also have a distinctive smell that they spray in the air to warn the other workers of potential danger.
They should be kept in a very dry environment with a minimum of 25 degrees temperature.
Concerning food, they like honeydew and small fruit flies.
