Yeah one time I accidentally brood boosted with a different lasius species and the colony accepted them as they’re own. The different species didn’t attack the original species and vise versa. I wouldn’t go around purposely adding different species but if you did I am sure it wouldn’t affect the colony much.

(Sorry for posting this on your sale post but I really wanted to chime in.)

Lasius Neoniger (Around 23ish workers)

Tetramorium Immigran (8 Workers)

Myrmica Queen (Not 100% on species)

Formica Subsericea (No workers)

Just leaving a shout to rowerbutt for getting me started in my ant hobby. The aphaenogaster rudi's i obtained from the user have been fun to watch, grow and maintain. I've attached a pic of their nesting area. Thanks again rowerbutt!
