sulik Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 does anyone know if i can keep warrior beetles together in a small tank? specifically Pasimachus sp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynastes Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 Pasimachus usually do fine in a smaller cage, its the Calosoma that tear each other apart if the cage is too small. If you're talking small deli cup I wouldn't suggest it for anything. I have known Pasimachus for a very long time and only heard of the name "warrior beetle" recently. Where does that come from?

sulik Posted September 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 what? you cant keep them together i just ordered like 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynastes Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 Â well look orin pasimachus looks like a warrior lol btw dont keep together because they fight...I was asking if it was a freshly made up name. Show me a picture of a pasimachus next to a warrior. I kept specimens together for years in a 10gallon and they never harmed each other, maybe if you never feed them or offer no substrate you could have problems. I'd suggest a 20long for 10 of them.

Lucanus Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 Had some problems with the ones I got from AZ. I was keeping 5 specimens in a shoe-box size container. About a day after putting them together, I started finding decapitated specimens (actually, their thoraxes were cut off from their abdomens.). I lost 3 specimens like this and ended up with two specimens. They both died couple of months ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
