What else could I put in with my hissing cockroaches?

I have a pretty big dry aquarium with about a dozen hissing cockroaches. They eat lettuce and fruits. So I'm looking for another pet that I could stick in there that would eat the same stuff and not hurt the roaches.

Any ideas?

Must it eat the same thing? Because if not then there are some small lizards that may work (like an anole) since I doubt sincerely that they will ever attempt to take a cockroach of that size, and the crickets they eat shouldn't bother the roaches either. Outside of that, I'm not sure, maybe go semi-aquatic and put a fish or two in there?

Semi aquatic is too much work. And I don't like having to buy crickets. The place I have to get them at is far.

Snails maybe. Aren't millipedes carniverous?

EDIT: after research African Giant Millipedes sound perfect! My only concern is that some apparently can emit a foul liquid that can be harmful. Wonder if that would hurt the roaches...

I demand pictures of your roaches!
Put a fake skull in there, preferably a clown skull.
They could crawl in and out of the eye holes.

Personally, I would choose Raid! But whatever floats your boat. How about some scorpions? They would definitely keep the roaches on their multiple toes.
