The Ember Roach is a striking and highly sought-after species known for its bold, flame-like coloration and compact size. With a dark base color contrasted by vibrant orange to red patterning, this species stands out in any enclosure and makes a visually impressive addition to bioactive setups or display colonies.
Ember roaches remain relatively small compared to common feeder species, making them ideal for hobbyists who prefer manageable, space-efficient colonies. They thrive in warm, moderately humid environments with plenty of leaf litter and bark for cover. Like many decorative roaches, they prefer a well-ventilated enclosure with a dry side and a slightly more humid retreat area.
This species is hardy once established and reproduces steadily under proper conditions. Their calm temperament and attractive appearance make them a favorite among invertebrate enthusiasts looking for something different from standard feeder roaches.
