Shipi Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Hi Guys, long time I write here. Let me post some interesting pics. There is a 13 years old Periplaneta americana colony. And suddenly a black color morph showed up! Here are some pictures: http://imageshack.us...9/5586/biie.jpg http://imageshack.us...1/4461/ni4r.jpg I do not know are there any possibilities that they are hybrids or not. Let's start the discuss. They are our roaches of course. Regards, Shipi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Very cool!!! There are black German cockroaches and I own a pure black dubia, so why not american cockroach? You should seperate those and breed them together to try and start a new kind! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hisserdude Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Yeah you should isolate the morph! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shipi Posted December 12, 2013 Author Share Posted December 12, 2013 Of course I do! Also I will try to cross them with the white eye morph and call them 'Venom' from Spiderman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wcbpolish Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 I saw some black P. americana on the facebook page "Roach Paradise" and I wonder if these are the same... Here is the picture from facebook: Posted by Dominik Gruber Anyone hear anything else about these in the hobby? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salmonsaladsandwich Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Were they black as nymphs too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanBuck Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 If I remember correctly on ROACH PARADISE the nymphs were also black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy on Roach paradise says he is not the same person, so this morph has been found at least 2x. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinese insect fans Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 I used to catch a very dark color nymph of P.americana in my school. But when it grew up, its color turned into a common form. What a shame! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squidsalad Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 I noticed that Shipi's roaches look like they've got clearer hearts on their pronotums! I would isolate them and call them all love bugs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
