Looking for a pet roach species

[pentapede]

I have kept dubias successfully for some time now, and have realized how awesome they are. I am looking into other pet species of roaches, with the thought that i want a fast breeder that burrows. please chime in if you have a suggestion.

Not really a fast breeder like other species but I'd recommend Macropanesthia rhinoceros.

Henschoutedenia flexivitta aka Giant Lobster Roach

Archimandrita tessellata
Peppered roach

Beautiful camouflage pattern and colors on them. And they get big. Probably 3-4x the size of dubias

Very underrated and fascinating to observe are the glowspot roaches, lucihormetica sp. They set up a network of tunnels, which the males appear to defend . My colony has had a quite interesting social dynamic which is entertaining to watch. Not anywhere near as quick to breed as dubias, but still at a decent enough rate that you could sell off some extras.
