Hey, so I have spent about two weeks making this terrarium[https://i.imgur.com/6MjFfTA.jpg][https://i.imgur.com/JsI9Ak8.jpg][https://i.imgur.com/mYxeYj2.jpg][https://i.imgur.com/fhJ82Lh.jpg] [https://i.imgur.com/O4ST1vK.jpg]. It's a 36 gallon tank which has a gravel draining layer. I plan to put animals that reside in Virginia and in the area around it. I was thinking that I could add two ant colonies one camponotus chromaiodes and one other small species. I could really use some help since I am relatively new to ant keeping and have never owned such a large terrarium. I was wondering if there is and and species small enough so they can avoid confrontation with the c camponotus, would the c chromaiodes mind if I water the tank about once a week, is it safe to feed the ants organic fruit, and any other suggestions. I could really use a lot of help. Thanks!
P.S. if I can't find a species to co-exist with the camponotus, I'll just keep camponotus by itself.

Fruit is fine. If you try to mix species it will not go well...
Proverbs 6:6-8
Go to the ant, you sluggard;
consider its ways and be wise!
It has no commander,
no overseer or ruler,
yet it stores its provisions in summer
and gathers its food at harvest.
