How I make fruit fly medium!

[Ben.M]

This medium wont work for normal flys :roll:

 

[Ben.M]

Oh and when i checked the culture yesturday there is maggots!!! , and all the flys are still alive

 

[OGIGA]

I made 5 cultures on Monday and now maggots are all over the melanogaster cultures. The hydei cultures have just a few small maggots crawling around.

Great to hear that it's working for you! I love using this medium, I get really good results form it.

Your hydei culture should start growing fast. I use this medium for both my melanogaster & hydei. Both species of flies do very well with this medium. I too made some medium on Monday.

Somehow I missed this post, how embarrasing...

I think I'll try it, though I don't even culture my own yet. We need to get you to research some easy housefly breeding stuff.

To raise house flies, go to spiderpharm.com, Chuck has a net system he sells to customers. His flies are for the smaller housefly, not the bigger blue bottle fly.

CHEERS!!!

The melanogaster cultures' larvae have already pupated but the hydei cultures' larvae are still tiny.

What about your cup-o-mantis Nick? Can that be used for blues?

 

[MikhailsDinos]

Great to hear! It does take hydei culture a little more time to breed. But they have been doing well in this medium for me. I Get hundreds of flies out of it.

I might just do that.

A word of advice: don't try flour.

I've been doing research on Masa & the difference is that flour does don't have Lime. The lime acts like a fungicide as well.
