housing B. giganteous with giant hissers?

[KyuZo]

will there be any problem housing B. giganteous with giant hissers? do you think that the B. giganteous will nibbles on a molting hisser?

I highly doubt that a B.giganteous will nibble on your molting hissers...but if you have more than one male B.giganteous in the tank they will fight to the detriment of both males....I wonder if they would fight and kill the male hissers?
B.giganteous are BITTER rivals with each other and the males will rip each others legs off (no kidding) and even kill each other.
I do NOT reccommend mixing this sp......

by the way, the giant hisser species that i am talking about is not your typical giant hisser, they are the giant hissers, also known as G. oblongonata.

that is only 3.5" but i have seen them at 4" big. so maybe in the near future i'll have something that's bigger

lolol...I love competition...hehehehe
Please refer to jbrds and Rochelles photo thread, or the member gallery for pics of BIGGER hissers....
xoxoxo KyuZo
(though these are TRULY impressive and I would dearly love to exchange genetics in the colonies )

...I must add though, that our hissers are G. portentosa - not oblongata...lol

Wow i want to see how two male B giganteous fight it must be interesting. when i have a stable colony of B giganteous i will try pit fighting them before i feed them to my t so that they are all worn out and my t can eat them without injured by those spiky legs.

Did it for 2 years with regular hissers. Never had a problem.

Cloei, you never told me that you have B. giganteous

I don't anymore. I suppose if you were really bored you could search for a thread I started forever ago titled "do you smell your roaches" or something to that effect. Giganteous smell like roasted garlic-yummy. They were my favorites.
