Daniel Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Hi. I have been away from this forum a couple of years. My roach collection is not what it just to be. But Im starting to regrow my interest. If someone is interested in trading some species just let me know. Besides roaches I keep and breed some species of isopods and millipedes. My species list: Archimandrita tesselata Blaberus atropos Blaberus colloseus Byrsotria rothi Eublaberus sp Ivory Eupolyphaga sinensis Eurgaula capucina Gyna caffrorum Gyna lurida Lucihormetica grossei Luxihormetica veruccosa Pycnoscelus femapterus Therea bernhardti Therea olegrandjeani 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyvie Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Welcome back! Wow, you still have quite a collection; it must've been quite large! Since you have such a well-rounded collection, do you plan on specializing in something or adding something difficult or very rare? If so, what would that be? I hope your interest continues to be strong and you enjoy continual positive experiences! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have allways found Polyphagidae and Panestiinae especially interesting so my intention is to add some species from that family and sub family. I really miss my Panesthia angustipennis cognata and Polyphaga obscura cultures. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaberus Craniifer Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Welcome back to the forum, as Skyvie said you still have quite a collection. But good luck getting it back to its former size! =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hisserdude Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Welcome back to the forum! Pretty good collection there, Polyphagidae/Corydiidae and Panesthiinae are some of my favorite groups as well, Perisphaerinae is my number one favorite!

One problem is that I dont have any rare species any longer so trading is going to be a problem. But someway or another I will probably, given the time, build a nice collection again. 18 hours ago, Hisserdude said: Welcome back to the forum!

Corydidarum pygmaea makes a fine addition to any collection. I hope your colony is thriving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, they are really cool! Well I have two adult females, I got one of them to produce a single litter of nymphs, will definitely need more to keep the culture going though, so it's just a waiting game from here...

Daniel Posted May 7, 2017 Author Share Posted May 7, 2017 Know how it is to start a colony with just a few individuals. Somertimes you manage to establish a colony from just a single female and sometimes it doesnt work at all. I hope you will end up with a thriving colony eventually.

Waiting sucks Yeah, I started with six nymphs, two were females, and the rest were males... I'm pretty optimistic that the females will give birth again, so hopefully I'll see more nymphs soon, waiting is the worst part lol. Thanks, me too! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
