Daniel Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Hi! I got these beatiful roaches from my good friend Fredrik Haljesgard. Thank you again Fredrik This is a South African species that I have never seen before in the hobby. http://s218.photobucket.com/albums/cc45/Kn...nt=P6110013.jpg http://s218.photobucket.com/albums/cc45/Kn...nt=P6110022.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt K Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Maybe I just need to move to Europe to keep roaches. I have been wanting some of those for quite a while! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maarten.. Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Wow, those are really beautifull!! Hard to keep? Suddenly I remember, I do live in Europe! If they are for sale some time, I'm definately interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeriplanetaAmericana Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Great! I love living in Europe! . Are they hard to keep? Best regards, Javier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted June 12, 2008 Author Share Posted June 12, 2008 Hi! I have just kept them for a month or so. They dont seem difficult to keep. If I get some nymphs (I and a friend have 20 adult females) some of them might be up for trade. If someone is interested in trading I do have surplus nymphs of a lot of rare species. Look at this website to see what species I keep (I appologize for it being in swedish). www.zoonen.com/minzoon.asp?oid=485245 Take care Daniel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeriplanetaAmericana Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Wow Daniel! Great list of roach species! Now, I don´t have enough money and I don´t have other roaches to trade for, but I´m very interested in your roaches . Best regards, Javier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeriplanetaAmericana Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Hey Daniel, is this another of your websites? http://www.dannesdjur.com/eindex.html I think I send you an e-mail 1 year and a half ago asking about Rhino roaches . Best regards, Javier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted June 12, 2008 Author Share Posted June 12, 2008 Hey That is not my website, but I know the guy who has it. He doesnt keep that many animals anymore but he has among other things a nice collection of aquatic snails. I will trade for other kinds of invertebrates than roaches. If you keep or can collect any millipedes, snails, isopods, spiders and so on. Cheers Daniel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately I haven't got any animal that you don't have already. I will keep an eye out for the add listing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Cool, saw them in a book once. I sure would like to have those in the U.S.! Do they hiss? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted June 23, 2008 Author Share Posted June 23, 2008 Cool, saw them in a book once. I sure would like to have those in the U.S.! Do they hiss? They do hiss a little when disturbed, but not at all as loudly as Gromphadorhina. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrCrackerpants Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 Here is another picture of this species: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:CockroachSwartbos.jpg Info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aptera_fusca Does anyone know if these are or were in the United States?
