Matttoadman Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 After having my pantanals for a few weeks, I have some random observations to share. I am keeping them in a 20 gallon high aquarium in 3 inches of coconut fiber. On top of it is oak leaves and sheets of oak bark. They(110 of them) huddle buried in a ball in the middle of the tank. From this is a network of pencil thick tunnels leading around the tank. You can see them along the glass. Kind of how I picture a termite colony to live. They love flake fish food, oak leaves and oats. On the fresh side, they like grapes, zucchini and carrots. I have a video of one of them pushing a baby carrot underneath the bark. Unfortunately they very, very skittish. I have a red heat lamp above them but they won't come out if it's on. It must be the wrong kind. I can say the roach hobby has me, could overwhelm my pigeon hobby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hisserdude Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 Very interesting observations, I find it cute that they are all huddled up together! Yes this hobby is very addicting, prepare to have half a room devoted to multiple species of roaches, and possibly even other types of invertebrates!

Matttoadman Posted November 17, 2015 Author Share Posted November 17, 2015 The strange thing is that out of 110 of them I only see 1-6 out eating at a time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
