How should I glue my Creobroter gemmatus ooth to the lid of the container? What kind of glue should I use? How often do I mist the ooth?

Use super glue or use a hot gun and glue and glue it to whatever lid you want the ooth to hang from and mist the container like once or twice a week and put paper towel on the bottom of the container and spray that as well but dont keep it in the net cage and move the ooth to like a smaller fish tank or a 32 oz tub or something then spray that once or twice a week and the paper towel too!
okay thanks!
Had good hatchings of this species with the methods I mentioned esp used a 3 gallon fish tank and towel on the bottom in the tank and sprayed the inside of the tank and used aquarium plastic plants to help raise the humidity in the tank and your have no problem with hatching these or any other species if you follow a similar plan
this is all I use on hatching ooths that I have esp the creobroter gemmatus ooths
3 gallon fish tank with light but dont use it (tank has words planet on it)
fake aquarium plants (4) plants or more or less to add little decoration in tank and help raise humidity
paper towel on bottom of the tank and spray that along with the sides and the fake plants
hanged the ooths on their own sticks to inside of tank top on a clear plastic sheet and that is all
and collecting the nymphs was not too difficult just take out the fake plants and gently shake the nymphs into another container to be transferred to their new home and also get the nymphs hanging upside down by the ooths as well!

my setup is a small container (24 oz) with holes in the lid and paper toweling on the lid (in other words, a handmade cloth lid) a paper towel on the bottom for moisture and then twine that I'm using as excelsior. The ooth will be glued on the lid. Anyway, these ooths hatch around 50 nymphs in like 8 weeks?
that's too small for an ooth that's 2 cm long!
can I keep multiple ooths in a large container?
and about the lid?
hmm if you got a bigger container with a lid then do the same thing glue it on the underside and just do the usual spray paper towel and sides of the container the ooth or ooths are in and make sure you got the ooth in a place where its warm and with some but not alot of humidity!
it sort of is. Most of the time I get ooths they're in a container and they hatch in there. And how is like 24 oz too small for creobroter? I've hatched chinese in 16 oz cups (well that was the cup they came in and they hatched just fine).
I just never had to bother hatching creobroters in anything but my fish tank and in my view whatever works will work for you but for me it just is a fish tank for my creobroters but do use 32 oz containers for other species I have to hatch but I try to hatch everything in the same container but same species!
Just saying does not hurt to try new things and the tank could surprise you with hatching ooths! But if the aquarium had its own lid would use that but if you got mesh then thats ok too but with mine I used the tank top it came with!
