Josh's Frog Hydei Fruit Fly Culture Kit - 20 Cultures - 3lbs

Each bag of Josh's Frogs Hydei Fruit Fly Media contains 10+ cups of fruit fly media. A bag of Josh's Frogs Hydei Fruit Fly Media makes 30 - 1/3 cup cultures or 20 - 1/2 cup cultures. Bacteria, Fungus, and Molds compete for nutrients with the fruit flies. Josh's Frogs Fruit Fly Media fights these invaders so your fruit fly cultures produce not only more fruit flies, but healthier fruit flies. Packed with Vitamins and Color Enhancers We believe that healthy fruit flies lead to healthy herps. Therefore, Josh's Frogs Fruit Fly media is full of vitamins and color enhancers from natural sources. Directions: 1. Pour ¾cup of boiling RO Water/bottled water over ½ cup of media (don't stir, just let it soak in! It may take a couple of days to absorb fully). 2. Add a handful of excelsior to the cup. 3. Cover the cup and wait for it to cool. 4. Add ~50 flies. Cultures should be kept below 85°F and will start producing flies in 12-14 days. If the cultures seem to be drying out (or molding), spray with RO Water and use more water when making cultures. This media contains a mold inhibitor. Shake well before using. To see how to make a culture, check out our how-to guide. Pro tip: It's best to store media in the freezer so it stays as dry as possible. If the mold inhibitor within our recipe is exposed to moisture before a culture is made, it can deactivate the ingredient.
