One of the most high yielding fruit fly medias around. Our special blend not only smells great, but produces tons of flies. We have tested and adjusted our recipe to produce the highest yield of any media we’ve tried. Not only does this media produce huge cultures, but is simple to make. Follow the recipe below to make your culture. You can use either use wood excelsior or coffee filters with our media. This recipe works great with D. melanogaster and D. hydei.
- Scoop 1/3 cup of media into fly culture cup.
- Pour 1/2 cup of boiling water onto the media in the cup, gently shaking cup to level media in bottom.
- Some parts of the media will be dry, but that is ok. Do not stir the media.
- For best results sprinkle a bit of baking yeast on the top of the wet media.
- Wait approximately 2 hours for the media to cool and to put your coffee filters, or excelsior, into the media. For best results, use excelsior with Hydei flies as the coffee filters tend to break down over time.
- Shake approximately 30-50 fruit flies from an existing culture into the new cup.
