Check if she's Froggattella, pictures are too blurry to confirm myself.

Definitely not Tetramorium.
Why keep ants that aren't found in your yard?
There are so many fascinating ants right where you live!
I disagree with the keeping/buying of ants that aren't in your area.

You may have to get clearer pics and ask someone else to help you ID them. You can try posting on iNaturalist.
