If you're just keeping a small number and you avoid keeping species from different genera together you shouldn't have any trouble. When there are large numbers one species tends to wipe out the others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roachfreak101 Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 I agree with Orin about not mixing differant Genera together. Although i had a friend who had B fusca and decided to throw in discoids with them. One by one the discoids disapeared untill there were none left. This friend may have been neglectfull with his feeding duty's. I think as long as they are well fed, you should have no problem. Most people who keep roaches, usually feed them well. Although prosticus are known to devour other small insects when hungry. Have you ever had this experiance Orin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allpet Roaches Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 I've had some mixed, unrelated cultures and have seen drastic declines in the weaker species but never let it get so far that one is completely killed off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
