On the fence as to building a plastic tub type enclosure for getting a dubia roach colony going. Right now I have a 20 gallon fish tank set up in my basement with a screen lid. It has a small undertank heater pad and also a dome light with a red bulb. Basement temps are 65. Placed 10 egg flats on edge on the one end with the heat pad and have about the same space open for feeding. Temps are good in the upper 80's for most of the tank. How many roaches can I raise inside this tank? Will it be enough to feed one cham once it gets established?
I know the ultimate would be a huge plastic tub with a screen top but this is what I have on hand for now. Will be painting the outside of the glass to darken it.
Thanks for your replies in advance.
