And along with that, I ordered 100 discoid pure bred roaches. They are sub adults and will that be enough to have a decent colony size within 1-2 months?
Last year I had P. nivea female escape from its enclosure and it somehow ended up in discoid enclosure. Later I started seeing Panchlora adults pop up in there, suggesting that the female bred in there. However, once my discoid colony grew larger the Panchloras disappeared. So ya, discoids will outcompete Panchlora.
I found very quickly with the red runners I prefer tp and paper towel tubes to egg crates for them. Just personal preference, but easier for me to manover them with those IMO
