Allpet Roaches Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 They'd be fine as long as there aren't tons of either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jebbewocky Posted November 8, 2010 Author Share Posted November 8, 2010 Ok, I just wanted to see if it was a terrible idea since I didn't find anything online quickly. I just put the hissers in with the Caves--I actually dropped my hisser female right on top of the caves (my hand slipped), and after an initial period of confusion and antenna waving, they pretty much realized they were all roaches and are now perfectly happy.

RosenKrieger Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 I used to keep a mixed tank of those two species and they did just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jebbewocky Posted November 13, 2010 Author Share Posted November 13, 2010 Well, it's working out great so far. The roaches don't seem to care at all. If I thought it would work out I'd get a millipede for the same tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I thought it would work out I'd get a millipede for the same tank. It could. The tank I had those two species in was a 20 gallon long aquarium with a screen lid. It had about a dozen individuals of each species and I wanted to get a few AGB millipedes for the tank, but never actually got around to it.

Anyway, I've heard rumors of the hissers eating the legs off of millis, and the millis poisoning the roaches. I'd be willing to try it, except millis are kinda pricey for me to chance it. Plus I like my roachies! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jebbewocky Posted September 13, 2012 Author Share Posted September 13, 2012 Update: I've kept the colony unheated. The B.giganteus thrived, the hissers..well, didn't. I had just enough reproduction to replace my adults that died. I don't know if it's due to overcrowding, the addition of H.tenebricosa, or keeping it unheated.
