Mad About Cichlids Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 I started out with the same amount of Dubia and Discoids in the same enclosure and now the Dubias are out breeding the Discoids. Looks to be like 3/4 Dubia 1/4 Discoid now. I'm thinking about moving out the Discoids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 I've thought about it, but Parcoblatta need different conditions than hissers, and I've heard that giganteus and hissers don't get along. If one species dominates the other, you should probably move the "weaker" one out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeriplanetaAmericana Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Hello, I never keep different species together, in the same cage. They compete for food and refuge and the weakest species finally dies. Keep them in different cages . Best regards, Javier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maarten.. Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 I've kept G. portentosa and B. dubia and one S. lineola praying mantis together for two years(the mantis for 8 months). This went well but in the end the dubias outgrew the hissers. The mantis preferred the dubias but these guys breed pretty well. Eventually I saw less and less hissers so I seperated them last fall. Now my number of hissers is rising again. I think that if you keep populations in check, make a lot of hiding spaces and keep them well nourished in different sites in the cage things must work out for two species, which are not similar but thrive in the same environmentally conditions.
