Well, the US government outlawed roach keeping, Europe forcibly stopped all imports of new species, Roach Crossing went off the map (but wait, is Kyle back??!?), Africa started hiding its cool species from us, Asia went overboard with breeding and crashed their gene pools, Australia continues to tease us with their species, all the Oriental Roaches in the Arctic died, and the rest of the roaches mobilized their numbers via Insectgram to take over SpaceX and send themselves to another planet, saying they were sick of "being mistreated".
What's new with you?
Thanks,

I ventured back into the fish hobby and let my inverts simmer. Nothing new except some pantanal nymphs appeared in my Cyriocosmus elegans adult females container and ate her
Corydidarum is now a synonym of Pseudoglomeris, (but C.pygmaea are now Perisphaerus pygmaeus), Pseudoglomeris magnifica are firmly established in the hobby worldwide, Archiblatta hoeveni have made a comeback in culture, but very few people are breeding them successfully, @Bmaines96 is like the new Roachcrossing now, (but he's way more active on Facebook than here), and I'm back in the hobby after taking a bit of a break...

It's all 100% Certified, Verified, Confirmed and Condoned Fake News...except for that part about the US banning the keeping of roaches (not counting deregulated species or those kept under a permit), and the fact that the Australian enthusiasts are still teasing us with all their cool species, those unfortunately are still true.
What tipped you offEDIT: Only now do I realize much of what's in your comment are jokes...
?Very sorry to hear that man. That has gotta sting...
I might also add that quite a few species of roach were deregulated. You can read more about that here.
Thanks,
Arthroverts
Well to be fair it's been technically illegal to keep the majority of exotic roaches in the hobby since before @Matttoadman entered the hobby, so it's not necessarily a new development, just more people know about it now...
I saw SpaceX and was like "wait a minute...What tipped you off
"...

I guess we are good until our individual states start banning them.

i did discover that roaches make excellent feeders for fish. I have been feeding a flowerhorn several nymphs weekly. He was 2 inches in June and is over 6 now with a massive head. I am trying to remember how to make pictures fit on here
Yeah pretty much my mentality TBH, and right now Blattodea seem to be pretty low on their list of priorities, (thanks isopod hobby!
). Nice, that's awesome, roaches really do make great feeders for a wide array of animals!
Photos either need to be really small to upload here directly, or posted somewhere else online, where you can copy the photo URL and paste it here...
