Hello from England

Hello everyone ,
I am not sure if I should translate this to German or not. I am English speaking and would appreciate your thoughts on this. I have been keeping ants for nearly a year now after having a break from the hobby. I really like the Genus Messor and Camponotus. I would like to get Camponotus fulvopilosus this year. We will see if my wife lets me.
By trade I run an aquatic centre with over 300 fish tanks, cold, trop, marine and pond. I hope to contribute to this great looking forum and learn lots more.
Jon

Hello Jon,
welcome to Eusozial 
Good luck in convincing your wife,maybe she will like C. fulvopilosus, because of their size and their unique looking gaster.
Regards,
Colophonius

Hi there,
welcome to our forum. Hope u enjoy reading our informations bout ants we keep, terrariums we build etc.
Can u read German? I just wonder coz this forum ist almost nearly written in German.
And last but not least: If I read how many colonies u keep, I think ur wife won't stand in ur way when there is another new colony
Best regards
Stephan

Thank you for the welcome.
Unfortunately I do not speak a word of German. I am a member of a few British forums, however I found this forum really interesting and so would like to contribute and more importantly learn from you guys. However I do not want to upset people so I can Google translate to German (but it might come out a little strange).
Vielen Dank für die Begrüßung.
Leider habe ich nicht ein Wort Deutsch zu sprechen. Ich bin ein Mitglied von einigen britischen Foren, aber ich fand dieses Forum wirklich interessant und so etwas beitragen möchten und vor allem von euch zu lernen. Aber ich will nicht , um Leute aufregen , so kann ich Google translate auf Deutsch ( aber es könnte kommen ein wenig seltsam ) .

Welcome, Jon. I'm always happy to see that not only german native speakers are interested in our small forum/community. We had some english writing users before which were writing really nice posts. Because there are many people here that don't speak english, we always translated the posts into german - we'll do the same for you, so please don't use google translate, it just sounds terrible.
Maybe in future we'll have an english sub forum here -would you appreciate that?
Greetings from Thailand,
Phil

Hi Jonthefish,
Welcome to the Forum.
I think, that our School Englisch is Good enough to Understand, what you Write. Only my autocorrection is another Opinion. As you See here.
