I'm keeping a colony of hissers, I have huge hybrid portentosa, E javanica, and A insignis. ( Madagascar, Halloween and Flat Horn.) in one colony. I'm posting this to let people know, if you're not creeped out by roaches, a multi species colony is like a fish tank for invert lovers. They are always doing something. I'd heard about fights between males before, but last night I watched the most epic struggle ever. The two biggest javanica in my tank went head to head in a shoving match, and it was very cool. These guys get extremely pissed, and they don't play around. I have several pieces of cork in an exoterra for them, with a large piece leaned sideways, and these two were actually shifting it around and slamming it against the side of the enclosure..It looked like a bar brawl Didn't look like they got hurt, its basically a shoving match, but still..impressive fight. The most interesting display animals are roaches, from what I've seen..

Nice setup! Yeah hisser brawls are pretty epic, can't wait till my nymphs mature so I can finally get some males! And yeah, those A.insignis are absolutely beautiful!

wont they all hybridize with each other?

Nope, all the species he has are from different genera. If he had two Gromphadorhina species together in the tank, then those could hybridize. Same goes for the other genera.

Yeah, despite their size they are more feisty than the normal hissers. I once owned a E.javanica male, and he hissed way more and way louder than any of my other hissers!

Lol, soon All my nymphs look similar still, but theyrestarting to pick up some color. Pm me your address, and let me know if you want to wait for my new flat horns to start producing first. I got the other two breeding well.
