Dubia X Discoid

[GailC]

Is it possible for dubia and discoid roaches to cross breed? I'd really like to combine my two colonies but I don't want any hybrids.

 

[psionix]

no, they won't cross.

 

[the_frog_kid]

it is impossible for them to cross
they are from differant genus




thanx froggy

 

[Frogsarethapoop]

Hybrid insects. Never heard of them. Can anyone list some examples?

 

[Dom]

Many snakes from different genera have been successfully cross-bred so it's possible that they could interbreed, although highly unlikely.

 

[Taceas]

I have my Lobsters and Lateralis in the same container, haven't noticed any hybridizing at all. One is an egg-layer, the other a live-bearer. Don't know how that would work out. lol

 

[Frogsarethapoop]

Im pretty sure insects don't interbreed.

 

[the_frog_kid]

well there are several blaberus hybrids
i hate the fact that they can do that
i will never buy or broaker roaches
it is very rong to hybridize on pupose
i turns my stomach to hear about craniifer and fusca hybridizing
craniifer = very pretty (i have them) fusca = very pretty ( i also have them)
hybrids are plain ugly
nothin pretty about it
i dont get why they do it in captivity in the first place the ranges overlap on most of the specie




thanx froggy

 

[Dom]

Yeah species don't interbreed except under unusual conditions such as if there are no mates of the same species available.
I wouldn't worry about them interbreeding but I was just pointing out it is possible. Several inter-genera snake breedings have produced offspring.

 

[Frogsarethapoop]

I have several sterile hybrid fantasy pacman frogs. They are bright orange, yellow and green.

the_frog_kid, how do you PURPOSELY hybridize roaches, i've never seen a person FORCE a roach to mate with another, LOL! If they are in the same tank and hybridize it's because they are doing what nature tells them to do, mate to create a new generation of their species. If you think hybrids are wrong then feeding roaches to animals must be a sin to mankind!

If you are a roach breeder than I can see why you dislike hybrids, just like purebred dogs, breeders dont want mutts.

I dont see how you get sick to your stomach about hybrids occuring. Do you how many people born today are hybrids.... enough said, it happens, even with other animal species in the wild. Rare occurance,yes, but it has happened.

Think of the roaches point of view, they are sex machines, literally. The more roaches they mate with, the happier they are. Why do you think roach breeding is so easy?

Roaches dont care what other species they mate with, if their two different species but in the same genus, most likely they will try to mate. (like dogs, every dog species can interbreed with another) Thats why stray dogs are so diverse in looks. Is it wrong to let them make hybrids,no, they are just doing what comes natural, to mate and reproduce, even if they create hybrids. And as strays humans arent forcing them to hybridize, they do it on their own.

I keep B Fusca and Giganteus together, not to purposely have them mate, but because they are so similar and the 2 species are compatable with eachother in the same tank. They hybridize because their in the same genus, so their bodies are built similarly to eachother, making hybridization possible. Am I bad for mixing the 2, no, they get along fine and are not stressed, and im not a roach breeder and make no profit if they hybridize.

 

[IguanaMama]

All humans are the same species, Homo sapiens, all domesticated dogs are the same subspecies,Canis lupus familiaris. B. fusca and B. giganteus are same genus, different species. That is how hybridization can occur. With humans and dogs, it is just selective breeding. My guess is you weren't a science major.

I am really not sure what u mean by hybrid Human, but i think it is kinda scary to know ur best friend's mom or dad is a chimp or some sorta great apes.....
and i don't really know hybrid human are born "legaly " today.
Maybe i need to go back to bed, must've been an uncomfortable dream

 

[bugmankeith]

I meant different ethnic people (black,white,indian,asian,etc...) I've seen a white female marry a black male and have children (thats what I meant as a hybrid) Mabye I didnt say it "scientifically corect" in the first post, sorry.

LOL us mating with chimps...

I was just trying to prove a point to the_frog_kid that he or she shouldnt get so upset about hybrids, thats basically my only point. I know my little speech got messed up I typed it at the spur of the moment so it came out all backwards.

It wasnt anything important anyway lol.

Actually science was my 2nd best subject, but not about people,viruses,genetics, or elements, basically plants and animals.

 

[the_frog_kid]

thank you IguanaMama
personally i will haft to make a mental note on how i will never deal with that person nor do any help to him/her
fine by me
i you really think differant race of humans are a differant specie there is somthing rong and you should go back to school
or atleast look up the classification system for flora and fauna
i dont meen to be a ass or anything but i do have high standards and anyone who dissagrees will go on my black list
hybridizing is rong
it just is no one can change my mind
i can see the use of a craniifer size and meatyness roach that breeds like fusca
but i cant see why this is a good thing
what happens if some moron throws them into the wild
there gose the ecosystem




thanx froggy

I am really not sure what u mean by hybrid Human, but i think it is kinda scary to know ur best friend's mom or dad is a chimp or some sorta great apes.....

Would this work?

I think Randolph just increased my dating pool

 

[bugmankeith]

the_frog_kid making a blacklist of people on here is absurd. Ok you know you and me talked about this so well just stop the arguing.

 

[Randolph XX()]

yes Chesire, since we have hybrid cats commonly offer from inter species breeding, and CHIMPS are 99% similar to us, plus some inter species breeding sometimes occurs in natural environment, so why not possible?
just not sure the F1 male would be sterile or not...
and hybrid roaches is indeed a big problem
try to type in Blaberus craniifer on google, and u'll find they look like fusca or under the name of "brown wing craniifer"
and the mere fact is, that is why, bugmankeith u get something that u thought was B.giganteus and found out it actually is not later on
so u're still insisting on crossbreeding?

Yes randolph crossbreeding is interesting to me still, but insects not the chimp/human thing. I already saw the special about "Oliver" the humanzee, who isnt a chimp/human hybrid afterall.
