Roach breeding.

[poison]

1)They all fight but hissers fight the worst and often kill each other.

2)Turkistan in my experience (never had lobsters)

3) Dog food is a poor diet for roaches. Keep in mind these roaches will be going to your animal as feeders.

4)temps seem fine.

5) blatta lateralis are the most nutritious out of the ones you have listed but they are not so big.

do you plan on mixing species?

I was going to mix species but if that's a bad idea then I won't. Surely if they are all well fed and have plenty of space these non aggressive, scavengers won't fight.

Hissers will fight no matter how much space or food you give them. When males find each other they will headbutt each other.

Will they fight all other roaches or can they tell if its a male hisser? I was going to mix the different species. If a hisser came across a dubia would it attack or just wander by?

Males give off a musky odor so they only attack the males. Not sure if they would attack other species though.

Absolutly. Male dubias and hissers fight like cats and dogs. That is why you have the 1 male 3 females rule. It reduces the fighting suggnificantly. But you will always have the male compitition with both species. That is just part of there nature. But I didnt think that the two species would compete with each other because they do not cross breed. Nymphs however will not fight or compete. I have only kept nymphs of both spieces together.

Roaches fighting is natural so I presume I can mix these species with lots of females and not many males.
