I just want to find out if it is possible to keep different species of roaches together in one container.
The species I would like to keep together is: Hissers, orage spotted's and forest roaches.
Please any help will do.
I'm going to stay in a much smaller house for a while and realy need to save on space where I can.

Hey Ripper

It would not be a good idea. Romio has got lobsters and forest roaches together and it doesnt seem to affect them too much. Both colonies is growing well. But on the other hand ive heard of instances where people have mixed Dubia's with forest roaches and the Dubia's killed the other colony.

I think it would be best if you rather keep your colonies seperate. Try selling some of the colonies if space is a problem, or get smaller containers and stack them.

Hey Ripper

Yes i agree with Wynie..he has seen my setup and its not a good plan,
rather keep them seprate..

enjoy buddy

There is nothing wrong with keeping your roaches together in one container, But I do now for a fact that Dubias eat the forest roaches egg sacks.

I got red head roaches living with Dubias and have lobster roaches.
Also have red head roaches living with my hissers.

The red heads have moved into most of my roach containers, and once they are in they thrive with them.

I don't think there is an issue to do it, but it just becomes an issue when you have to feed your spider, then you have to search through a hole lot of roaches and different species you want.

I was rethinking about your question.

How big are are the 3 colonies?
And do you have a set amount of space?
What kind of container do you have know?

Sorry for only replying now (work)
I have about 100 hissers (Gromphadorhina portentosa)
and about 100 orange spotteds (Blaptica Dubia )
Now on the last one I made a mistake, sorry for that, when
I checked on saroachman I saw they are called lobster roaches (Nauphoeta cinerea)
and of them I have about a million (not realy but there are a LOT)

I currently house all of them in homemade glass enclosures with tight fitting wooden frames with glass and mosquito screening for ventilation.
