I agree none is best for Hissers

It depends on your reason for having them. Some just sell and breed, others have them for display. I have a classroom and I do like having substrate. I use bark mulch. A thin layer. Just enough for young ones to hide in and it keeps the tank looking clean. It is also pretty easy to clean out and separate looking for nymphs.

i don't use substrate any more (too hard to maintain), at one time i did keep them in some slighty damp sphagnum moss and they were breeding like crazy.

I have a display tank and I use 3"-4" of aspen bedding.

thanks 4 the response i keep them for'show' realy its just because i like them adn there intersitng.forgot to mention i have some deaths head in there with them they like to burrow so i think i'll keep the substarte.. thanks again to everyone!!

I'd keep an eye on your deaths head population, I once kept hissers with a cranifer/fusca cross and the latter soon out numbered the hissers and bullied their larger cousins when it came to the hiding places and food.

what will happen if i use no substrate at all? will the roach still be able to breed and live?

i agree with no substrate is the best...and no substrate shouldnt affect the breeding or live....
