Matttoadman Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 I’ve been gone for a while. Did I miss anything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthroverts Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Well, the US government outlawed roach keeping, Europe forcibly stopped all imports of new species, Roach Crossing went off the map (but wait, is Kyle back??!?), Africa started hiding its cool species from us, Asia went overboard with breeding and crashed their gene pools, Australia continues to tease us with their species, all the Oriental Roaches in the Arctic died, and the rest of the roaches mobilized their numbers via Insectgram to take over SpaceX and send themselves to another planet, saying they were sick of "being mistreated". What's new with you? Thanks, Arthroverts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matttoadman Posted December 23, 2019 Author Share Posted December 23, 2019 I ventured back into the fish hobby and let my inverts simmer. Nothing new except some pantanal nymphs appeared in my Cyriocosmus elegans adult females container and ate her 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hisserdude Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Corydidarum is now a synonym of Pseudoglomeris, (but C.pygmaea are now Perisphaerus pygmaeus), Pseudoglomeris magnifica are firmly established in the hobby worldwide, Archiblatta hoeveni have made a comeback in culture, but very few people are breeding them successfully, @Bmaines96 is like the new Roachcrossing now, (but he's way more active on Facebook than here), and I'm back in the hobby after taking a bit of a break...

I might also add that quite a few species of roach were deregulated. You can read more about that here. Thanks, Arthroverts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matttoadman Posted December 24, 2019 Author Share Posted December 24, 2019 I guess we are good until our individual states start banning them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matttoadman Posted December 24, 2019 Author Share Posted December 24, 2019 i did discover that roaches make excellent feeders for fish. I have been feeding a flowerhorn several nymphs weekly. He was 2 inches in June and is over 6 now with a massive head. I am trying to remember how to make pictures fit on here 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah pretty much my mentality TBH, and right now Blattodea seem to be pretty low on their list of priorities, (thanks isopod hobby! 😁).
