Nordic Ants on YouTube successfully keeps multiple species in a tank so check him out for inspiration.
I tried adding acorn ants to my manica rubida and that ended terribly because they are very territorial.
Even tho the tank is massive they left no crevasse unchecked to make sure to kill every last one of them brutally once they found out about them.
Besides choosing the right species I'd also make sure to provide a big surface area like plants, rocks, leaf litter and such so they don't have to cross paths while foraging constantly and provide food sources in good amounts spread out so they don't have to compete for resources.
