So how this works is you rank ant species on how difficult ants are to keep based on your experience or knowledge.
Example: Easy: Camponotous
Intermediate:Pogonomyrmex
Hard:Solenopsis
The first 2 are on my experience but Solenopsis is from ant keepers online. Preferably do species different than other people but anything is fine. This is just for fun and for ant keepers who are new and need a easy species.

Re: Ant difficulty ranking
Easy: formica sp. and most crematogaster sp.
This info is very accurate but probably not completely because most of my colonies are still young. I also got some of this info from different ant keepers.

My current colonies:
-Miniature Military(formica neogagates)
-Black Hearts(crematogaster cerasi)
In search of new camponotus colony

Re: Ant difficulty ranking
Hard: thief ants and Pharaoh ants. They are very hard to keep because they are escape artists and can fit true almost anything. As proof of this someone on the forum recently lost his colony of thief ants because of this: https://forum.AntsCanada.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=19942
