desana Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Wonder if anyone can help me. I'm trying to find out how many dubias or what size colony I could keep happily without over crowding in an 11 gallon (52 ltr) tub pls! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Termite48 Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 If you use egg crates for the perching material, they can be stacked in such a way as there would almost never be too little room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desana Posted August 16, 2013 Author Share Posted August 16, 2013 Yes I will be using egg crates. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dubia Dude Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 You could probably get at least 2000 in there. Maybe a bit more Dubia like to be crowded together though. Using 12"x12" Paper Egg Trays stacked vertically gives them more surface space Leave some room to add food and water crystal trays 11 gal is a bit of a small bin IMO.

Dubia Dude Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Thats about an 18.5 gal tub. You should be able to get a good sized colony going. Somewhere around 5000 Dubia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
