Roach cross breeding?

[Miss Bianca]

Just wonder if they would or do.
Specifically referring to Blab. Discoidalis and Blap. Dubia...
I may have tossed two or three that were left over from the feeding cup
in the wrong bin!!!
I'm sure it's no biggie but I wanted to ask.
(Adopted this attitude after beating myself up about the mishap).

Thanks!

Naw. Not closely related enough. Two different species of Blaberus, maybe, but not with a dubia.

I believe that the new TKG mentions inter-generic-hybrid tarantulas (correct me if I'm wrong--I read that somewhere on the boards).

Perhaps it could happen with roaches, although it's highly unlikely.

Those two roaches will not and can not hybridize.

 

[Miss Bianca]

OK so if there was a mistake putting them back there
(because I'm not certain), then they'd just co-exist then...

 

[Matt K]

They should co-exist. However, a majority of the time when two species of roach occupy the same location, one has a tendancy to eat the other when they molt (but not always), so one species lives and the other disappears.....
