$10.00 -
$80.00
A minute Kenya hobby line kept under a qualified identity. These roaches are sold as Paraplecta cf. minutissima “Kenya”; cf. indicates a tentative comparison, not a confirmed species identification. Current options are 30, 100, or 300 Mixed Nymphs.
Culture setup
Use a secure micro-enclosure with very fine ventilation and gap control. Provide fine leaf litter, suitable decayed wood, shaded micro-retreats, and a moisture gradient without waterlogging. Offer finely divided food in controlled portions and remove spoilage promptly; high count does not reduce the need for adequate surface area and airflow.
Keeper and arrival notes
Do not advertise the culture as generic cleanup microfauna or guarantee compatibility with another animal. Open and transfer over a contained work area. Prepare the enclosure before delivery and review Shipping Add-Ons and Exotic Roaches.
Miniature and easy to overlook, in a good way. Paraplecta cf. minutissima Kenya roaches are among the smallest species kept in the hobby, making them a natural fit for tight bioactive builds, isopod culture bins, or anywhere a discreet cleanup presence is welcome.
Their tiny size means a starter group can multiply into a large, self-sustaining population that quietly works through leaf litter and detritus without ever taking over the visual space of an enclosure.
- One of the smallest roach species available
- Ideal for tight or naturalistic microfauna setups
- Builds into a large population from a small starter group
- Quiet, unobtrusive cleanup presence
