Mixing different roaches together

[BaronTheBD]

Quick question, I currently have dubias right now and want to purchase some hissers, are they compatible in the same tank?

I don't think those two can be! But then again that's just my thought! Good luck.

Interesting question...

My hissers are pretty laid back, a lot more so than the Dubia, except when the males square off for a head-bang-and-waggle fest. Don't know if they'd pick fights more often if they were stirred up. Plus the hissers go up slick surfaces like they have glue-feet, even the big buggers. You'd have to modify the Dubia enclosure to keep them contained.

They will be fine together except that the hissers can climb. The only species of roach that I would not put with others are e. posticus. They will eat and devour any other roach.
