How many dubias to start a colony?

[Hayabusa]

Would 25 Adult Dubia Roaches be enough to start a small colony?

The next size up is 50, but i only need to feed one leo. Or would 25 not be enough to start breeding them?

Thanks

Oh wow...I started with only 6 pairs of adults (I think, or was it 8?), and 160 nymphs of varied sizes. With 25 ADULT Dubia, you'd have PLENTY of babies coming quick!

I would also get 50 mixed nymphs. But adult-wise 25 is more than enough
