Oldest male dubie mating

Keith

Megaloblatta
I can 100% confirm that I have a 2 year old male dubia who sucessfully impregnated a female dubia, and the babies are extremely healthy and large. I didn't even know male dubia can live 2 years after maturing!

 
Well, the offspring are mature, and very large, 3 inches for both sexes! Good genes. ;)

Looks large :D

Mine are about the same size. I constantly have food in of both fruit/vegs and dry protein foods (cat/fish food).

I think their size also depends on if they're inbred too. Or how many times their bloodline has been inbred.

I bought 300, 100 from 3 different vendors when I started.

I've had VERY bad experiences with fish inbreeding, didn't know if it would cause problem with roaches.

I have convict cichlids that never grow more than 1 inch. I've had a few in there with really HUGE eyes, big bellies, and swim weird...

But yeah, genes are everything in the fish I've kept, so I'm sure it goes into roach breeding as well.
