Josh's Frog Melanogaster Fruit Fly Culture Kit - 10 Cultures - 1.5lbs

teria, 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: Mix contents of bag thoroughly Pour ¾ cup 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) Add a handful of excelsior to the cup Cover the cup and wait for it to cool Add 25-50 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. Josh’s Frogs recommends keeping the cultures in a plastic drawer system to prevent them from drying out. This media contains a mold inhibitor. 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.
