I was going to catch a tetramorium queen this summer. I was thinking which kind of nest for the ants would make them comfortable and is a cheap price

Tetramorium can nest virtually anywhere. Any formicarium will do. Here's a list of formicaria/websites. You decide which ones are in your price range.

Also, Tetramorium is a very good species to try making your own formicaria with, as they are super hardy and versatile.

This species like Mettcollsuss said isn't very picky. They will nest in just about anything. I would personally advise you to buy acrylic or 3d printed nests for this species however. That's just what I prefer though.
