Greetings!
I was wondering what spieces could coexist in a terrariums. I do believe acorn ants could coexist with a ground dwelling species, but I am just confirming. Can territorial ants live with non-territorial ants? Or do both need to not have boundaries. If so, what ants found in Florida could be put together in a terrarium?(If size matters say 25 gallon tank). Also, could arboreal species live with ground dwelling species?
Thanks!

Territorial species will be... territorial no mater what species they are pared with. I remember in one of AntsCanada's videos his weaver ant colony is living with another ground dwelling species.
My current colonies:
-Miniature Military(formica neogagates)
-Black Hearts(crematogaster cerasi)
In search of new camponotus colony
[Have a look at antmaps.org]

Re: Terrarium design.
The only ways for territorial species to coexist with non-territorial species is either them or the other species is a social parasite or if one is subterranean (lives and forages underground) and the other is terrestrial (forages aboveground) or arboreal (lives and forages on plants).
Or by making multi-species colonies like I told you last time.
