One difficulty with having aphids in a formicarium might be finding a plant which is small enough to fit, and which aphids like. I have observed black aphids living on what I think was the Dwarf or Stemless Thistle (Cirsium acaule). Even when flowering, it probably doesn't grow more than perhaps 8 cm or 3 inches off the ground. I think that this would be an ideal plant for growth inside a formicarium, and, being a weed, would probably be easy to keep.
