Probably because their of different colonies and regard each other as a threat.

Mantis needs food

It's very stupid feeding Mantids Odontoponera, which have a strong sting AND aren't nutritious.

I don’t keep mantises but I am 99% sure that there are better insects fo feeding than ants. Crickets, flies, beetles maybe mealworms would all make great food but why ants? Like what Canadian Anter said they are small and not very good nutrition for the fight they put up.

They are also fighting because you probably took them from different colonies and they have different scents etc.

Lasius Neoniger (Around 23ish workers)

Tetramorium Immigran (8 Workers)

Myrmica Queen (Not 100% on species)

Formica Subsericea (No workers)
