Pheidole cf. dentata: These guys now have 5 second-gen workers, with much more coming very soon. So yeah these are pretty fast growing. There is also some major larvae that are about to turn into pupae.
pics soon!

Pheidole dentata.
They don't seem to be Ph. dentata, but they are within the Ph. pilifera-group. I would bet they are actually Ph. morrisii.

Pheidole morrisii: Ok, I got a new formicarium for my pheidole morrisii because they were growing quickly and it was getting really hard to feed them. I connected the tube with the formicarium, and a bunch of workers started to explore!
pics soon, Edit: i'll get some pics as soon as they move in.

Sunlight works wonders to get Pheidole moving quick. Just make sure it’s not too hot, and you’re supervising.
Yeah, I'm doing it now.

Sounds like my Camponotus. However, the workers never snap. They tell the queen, and the queen simply try to recreate D-Day with it.

I'm so sorry for posting really late. Here is a photo of the solenopsis molesta duo.

Another thing, both my pheidole are actually good climbers. My pheidole morrisii can climb on past olive oil and have been escaping. Luckily I caught all the escapees for now.
