Question about formicarium

I sent know what formicarium to get for my ants, I have 9 solenopsis xyloni queens, 3 pogonomyrmex. Rugosos queen 1 brachymyrmex queen, and finally one argentine ant queen (I forgot the scientific name) Which is 14 queens in total. I caught 11 of them today ( 8 solenopsis xyloni and the 3 pogonomyrmex queens) and as far as I can tell 3 already have eggs.

My question is which formicarium should I get that is cheap and is great for all of these ants?

P.s. Im thinking about the all you need Omni nest kits but Im not sure yet.

It really doesn't matter. If you want to get a Hybrid nest though, make sure it's for your breed. Just make sure that it's not too big for your ants. Otherwise, the ants will designate one of the chambers for graveyard, garbage, or poop. That could get moldy very quick.
