Hello,

Yes and no. Of course, it's not very difficult to keep them, but it's better if you are experienced. In contrast to Pheidologeton diversus or Atta sp., they aren't difficult to keep.

You need a glass-basin to keep them. For small colonies, a 30x20 cm basin is enough, but a Polyrhachis colony will grow up very fast and it's better to take a 60x30 basin.

Ok, I think, if you kept these ants successfully, you are "experienced" .

Than, it's not a problem to keep Polyrhachis dives.
