Здравствуйте!
Я не говорю по русски хорошо.
I am biased for ants in the Northeastern United States, but the commonly kept species which I can think of first are:
Aphaenogaster fulva
Aphaenogaster rudis
Lasius neoniger
Lasius alienus
Lasius pallitarsis
Lasius umbratus (people don't try at social parasites very often, but this one is most successful)
Lasius flavus
Lasius nearcticus
Formica pallidefulva
Formica incerta
Formica subsericea
Formica pacifica
Formica aserva
Formica neogagates
Tetramorium sp. E (part of the T. caespitum complex)
Solenopsis molesta
Solenopsis invicta
Solenopsis xyloni
Linepithema humile
Pogonomyrmex rugosus
Pogonomyrmex barbatus
Camponotus pennsylvanicus
Camponotus novaeboracensis
Camponotus modoc
Camponotus herculeanus
Camponotus castaneus
Acromyrmex versicolor
Tapinoma sessile
Brachymyrmex depilis
Brachymyrmex obscurior
Atta texana
Myrmecocystus mimicus
Forelius pruinosus
Dorymyrmex insanus
Dorymyrmex bicolor
Pseudomyrmex gracilis
Prenolepis imparis
Pheidole pilifera
Pheidole bicarinata
Myrmica americana
Temnothorax curvispinosus
Monomorium minnimum
There are some common ants which we are not very good at keeping:
Ponera pennsylvanica
Hypoponera opacior
Lasius (Acanthomyops) ssp.
These are just some of the ants that people commonly find. There is way more diversity than this list.
If you've enjoyed using my expertise and identifications, please do not create undue ecological risk by releasing your ants. The environment which we keep our pet insects is alien and oftentimes unsanitary, so ensure that wild populations stay safe by giving your ants the best care you can manage for the rest of their lives, as we must do with any other pet.
Exotic ants are for those who think that vibrant diversity is something you need to pay money to see. It is illegal to transport live ants across state lines.

Exotic ant trade is commonplace in much of Eurasia.
