Camponotus, most Cremogaster, Lasius, Pheidole etc nearly evry ant ecapt those which build a nest out of wood for example but most of them could theoreticly life in there also.
It is less complicated to ask which one can´t.

I think its a little small for Camponotus.. as i have one myself of this nest.. Also.. id advise attaching a basin to it for feeding them.. as food will go mouldy in it very quickly. I was keeping crematogaster in it myself and they escaped easily.. So id think of something bigger.. maybe lasius, myrimica or formica. Pheidole and messor would chew straight through it. Hope that helps bud ;)

You could take Polyrhachis illaudata they look nice and can live in a Y-tong. Or maybe Meranoplus spec.
Myrmecocystus mimicus are also interesting.
