Hi guys I just recently fell in love with rhinoceros beetles when I went to Japan a couple months ago and when I came back I just had to have some here in the states. I love rhino beetles and Im looking forward to being part of this community and rearing rhino beetles.

 
I know Dynastes Tityus have occasionally been found here... Right now I have some dynastes granti larvae and I'm hoping to get a breeding pair out of them

 
Hi! I'm in Kansas too! Topeka. Just getting started here; don't have any beetles yet, but am getting my tank set up. It's a 65 gallon aquarium, so hopefully can keep several things. Do some species get along with different species?

 
I have been keeping some different species of rhino beetles together, some granti and gideon specifically. My largest granti (60mm) bullies the others a little, but it hasn't been too much of a problem. I know you can keep tityus and granti together, and even get them to breed.

 
I've only problem with a 65 gallon aquarium is the amount of substrate, if you need to change it, the process will be harder with a 65 gallon. As well as the inconvenience of checking for eggs in a 65 gallon. See what others say but I say several 10 gallon aquariums would be much easier. Having all the beetles in one tank is a roll of the dice if you get a mite infestation, it safer to keep different tanks for yor beetles, that is how everyone does it properly.
