Mad About Cichlids Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Just wondering what would be a good sex ratios for these roaches or it doesn't matter? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allpet Roaches Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 You can get by with an extremely high female to male ratio. Of course the bigger question is how many nice males you have available since there's no need to breed any runt males. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad About Cichlids Posted September 28, 2007 Author Share Posted September 28, 2007 Thanks I'm not exactly sure what the exact sex ratios I'll be getting but I did ask for more females. Would a dozen be ok to start a colony or should I look for more? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allpet Roaches Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 A dozen would be fine unless you're hoping to have a huge colony for feeding in the near future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad About Cichlids Posted September 30, 2007 Author Share Posted September 30, 2007 I'm hoping to eventually use them as feeders but not too much in a rush. My main feeder roaches right now are lobsters, I do have dubia and discoids too but they numbers are still low. I didn't really get the ratios and sex I was hoping for. ended up getting 3 mature females and rest are nymphs with one of them being a male. Guessing I'm going to have to find a good source online for more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
