I have tetramorium immigrans which is a great starter species that can't sting and grow fast. They are 3$ each. I also have pogonomyrmex californicus queens with 2-5 workers for 15$ each but there stings do hurt.

Kadin's ant shop Pogonomyrmex Californicus available! - General Market Place - Ants & Myrmecology Forum (formiculture.com) More ants for sale on my shop.
