jebbewocky Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Specifically, the species I'm talking about are B.giganteus and H.tenebricosa. The tank I've been keeping them in is, well..has some gaps and I'd like to replace it. I also need to get rid of the old substrate and do a pretty deep clean of my colony. I figured, as long as I'm doing that, I might as well separate them into two enclosures (I prefer aquariums), but space is relatively limited. I'm wondering what the minimum tank size would be?

Keith Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 20 gallon perhaps, depends how many roaches you have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
satchellwk Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 Well, my 7 adult and 50-100 giganteus nymphs are in a 10 gallon. They seem fine now, but once the little guys get big I'm going to have to move into something larger. My half-dozen tenebricosas share a 5 gallon with about 15 adult millipedes of various species, as well as numerous plings. I don't see them enough to really know how they're doing; the most I get is an antennae or posterior sticking out of the substrate when I shine a light on them at night. As Keith said, it really depends on the numbers you have. If you're not planning on breeding too much, I would say a 10 gallon is fine.

jebbewocky Posted October 1, 2012 Author Share Posted October 1, 2012 I ended up not having the cash for separate tanks. :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
