is a nice long thread about communal regalis. If you can ignore the flame war in the middle of it, it's got some GREAT information!

Communal Living...

Those are cute! Regarding communal living; I have had success in keeping Avicularia Avicularia's together in one tank. A LARGE tank 4 feet high and 16 inches wide with plenty of food. Pokies living together? Never tried it, but if any fighting or cannibalism ensues I would seperate them. Good luck!

I don't know anything about keeping pokies together and the requirements on size but I wish you the best of luck. :)

Nice to see some of my slings going to a communal set-up :) Glad you're happy with them! I've kept some for myself and will be rearing those communally. After my success with P. formosa, I am eager to keep more communal groups of pokies.
