Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Roaches
If you don't mind climbers and can put a strip of vaseline around your tank, you should try Lobster Roaches. They breed like crazy and require minimal care.
I also have hissers and they do that sometimes. Kinda flop around like they are dizzy, then flip over, curl up, and die.
Good luck
I also breed Blaptica Dubia roaches- Orange headed or spotted- forget the common name. They do not climb but their breeding is slower and they require higher heat to reproduce faster.

Roach for 10 gal tank at room temperature
Dear Mr. Meyer:
I breed roaches (Panchlora nivea) at regular room temperature...they are not totally tropical. Mine live (and
breed quite happily)in "critter keepers" no bigger than 10
gallon tanks. I do this by layering moist potting soil
for the burrowing babies with layered cardboard shelters
for the adults above...and a tightly woven cloth cover under
the "critter keeper" cover because they do escape unless
care is exercised to prevent their doing so...If you decide
to use 10-gallon tanks you will need to select VERY tight
lids for your tanks...but they will work just fine.
Yours very truly,
L. E. Rothstein
P. S. Some of these appear under "My spare feederbugs"
in the Insects and Arachnids For Sale/Wanted Ads forum.
P. P. S. Many native roaches will also tolerate a cool room.
And so will exotics from montane environments.
Happy hunting!

Well the fastest producing roaches are the lobsters. They can breed quite well even at room temps but they are able to climb like Shannan said. Other good species are:
Orange head (Eublaberus prosticus)
Orange spot (Blaptica dubia)
Discoid (Blaberus discoidales)
Six spot (Eublaberus distanti)
Death head (Blaberus craniifer)
All of these are non-climbers but don’t breed very fast at room temps. They like hot at around 90 degrees.
