The second is totally a camponotus. The first one I don't know.
Keep:
3 camponotus pennsylvanicus
2 formica subsericea

hard to tell but first one maybe Lasius sp. or Formica sp.
1x Lasius Niger - early forging stage - 60-100 workers
1x Messor Barbarus - founding stage - <20 workers
1x Camponotus Turkestanus - claustral stage - 1 nanitic + brood
1x Odontoponera Transversa - semi-claustral stage - no eggs
