My d. hydei culture is getting smelly. And it's not a nice smell, it reeks, and the styrofoam plug is all brown and gross. I changed it and the smell was less, but it's just going to get stronger as the culture gets older! 'Course, I expect all cultures to start stinking eventually due to the decomposition of dead fruit flies and maggots in the container.
The flies are all fine and still reproducing a lot, and I still have quite a bit of medium left, though it's brown-ing.
Is it time to cash in the money for a new culture?
