I thought he had S. Gemineta. I don’t watch anymore so if it is recent I wouldn’t know.
He had an older colony of Pheidole which lived on three pots of soil with plants (which he calls floating islands), one of them is a bonsai tree. It was quite some time ago when he first had that colony.

Recently he had a second colony of Pheidole which is Pheidole megacephala which is a huge colony with at least 100 queens which he almost decided to release.
He considered releasing megacephala? Why? They aren't anything close to native where he is and they cause so much environmental damage in Florida that they will even kill full grown Camponotus colonies.
He thought they are a native species of Pheidole until his viewers told him that it's P. megacephala.

One species that I think is interesting that I recently heard about is Dorymyrmex ensifer. TRANSPARENT ants!

I thought to start breeding Dorymyrmex is it easy to breed? or not because I am unfortunately dark in this ant breeding
D. bicolor i think is pretty easy, but some have had trouble with bureni. Also, unfortunately ants(with a few exceptions) will not mate in captivity... This includes dormyrmex.
