[QUOTE="DWahlbergii, post: 273271, member: 8161"] Thx- here is a couple more stupid questions- ended up with two different fruit fly cultures- one was I think combo of Hydei , Melanogastors and Turkish Gliders (?) That was yielding a manageable amount of a little larger fruit flies ( I assume Hydei) but since using the ones that were in there nothing else is coming up although I do see some larva still active- seems like many turned brown and died second one I just received are Melangastors and was started on 10/13 - which has about a million or so inside running around - lol stupid questions: 1) given that I presently have only 2 mantid nymphs and have only been dropping in a few flies a day, did I buy something that is meant to feed a hundred or so Mantids? I am assuming I dont want to place to many in with mantid so it doesn't freak out 2) On the first culture- should I expect that some more maturate into flies or is that it for the culture? Had it about 2 weeks I did get book "Keeping Aliens" which I will read tonight hoping it answers some of the questions I have but let me know any good "feeder" tips:) Thx [/QUOTE]
