Blaberus discoidalis is a large sized feeder species that has been in the roach hobby for as long as it has existed. This species is commonly kept as a feeder and research subject in laboratories and is admired for its hardiness, size, and breeding speed. Nymphs can reach adulthood in as little as 3 months under perfect conditions. Unfortunately, all untracked sources of this species offer hybrid stock of it and its relative, Blaberus boliviensis. This stock was collected from a now potentially extirpated population at the Banana Bay Resort and Marina in the Florida Keys and represents a precious, non-hybridized lineage of excellent quality and vigor.
