They like tiny bits of fruit or vegetables. But make sure they are very small amounts
because the last thing you want in an ant farm is moldy food. Ants also appreciate a drop of honey, some sugar, or bread dipped in sugar water. For their water supply, add a cotton-ball soaked in water. But mostly ants like sugary stuff.

What should you feed your ants in your ant farm with?

Any ant you choose. I would prefer Black Ants because they are less aggressive. Although, if you like the adrenaline rush you can get: Harvester ants, slavemaker ants (You need another nest for these because they take larva and make them slaves, It also requires frequent larva to maintain itself, thus, i dont recommend them), army ants, fire ants and many many others. If you want a big nest use all of the adrenaline rush ants lol. I SERIOUSLY RECOMMEND BLACK ANTS DONT GET STUCK WITH THE AVERAGE 1 MILLION FIRE ANTS IN YOUR TINY JAR!
