Those are Lasius neoniger and that is how my colony started but the workers chose one of them...

It is not Lasius neoniger. The workers do not match up. Here is the ID thread. http://forum.formicu...CA)-(8-28-2014)
Lasius queens are nearly impossible to correctly ID. You generally need to wait for workers due to slight color variations within the same species.
I can not tell if those are Lasius neoniger or not.

Lasius neoniger do not have yellow workers as this Lasius sp. does.

It does not, that is just one example. Point is, I am almost 100% sure that this is a Lasius (Cautolasius) sp. while Lasius neoniger is a Lasius (Lasius) sp.
I think these guys might be Lasius flavus. Maybe James Trager knows.

What camera/lens do you use? Those videos have excellent quality.
Here's my leopard gecko/ant youtube: https://goo.gl/cRAFbK
My ant website.
It contains a lot of information about ants, guides, videos, links, and more!

Where did you buy your lens, and how much did it cost? LOL I really want to have pictures like these for my journal.

That looks more like F. moki to me. Orangish-red and dark grey, and completely bald.
