Previously kept species
T. rugatulus, B. depilis.
Looking for
Myrmecocystus pyramicus, Myrmecocystus testaceus
Pheidole creightoni, Pheidole inquilina, Crematogaster coarctata, Crematogaster mutans

Nice big colony for a start! Love the majors.
Only thing holding me back from keeping Pheidole is their fast growth...
