Dry Fruit Fly Culture Medium
Our Fruit Fly Culture Medium is formulated for either d. melanogaster or d. hydei. Just add water and mix in an appropriate culture container, add flies and you'll have a super-thriving fly culture that will grow thousands of flies. Complete instructions included.

WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT & SPECIAL?
Our medium is enriched with vitamins and minerals and is PRE-MEASURED and sent to you in individual sealed bags. One bag makes one culture. Have you tried some of the other fruit fly mediums out there? Then you know how all the small particles fall to the bottom of the bulk bag and the large ingredients stay on top, giving you a completely imprecise and random mix - Not Good! Try our "One Bag = One Culture"
You won't be disappointed.

Vinyl Perching Mesh for Fruit Fly Cultures
Our special perching mesh is the ideal material to provide the flightless fruit flies with a comfortable & productive home. This mesh will maximize the living space inside your container.

WHAT MAKES OUR MESH DIFFERENT & SPECIAL?
Our mesh is far superior to the wood fiber (aka excelsior) used in ALL other fruit fly cultures found on the market. Our mesh does not rot in the feeding medium, like the dreaded wood fiber and doesn't fall all over the place when you tilt the container for feeding. Try it... You'll like it!
One panel is for one culture.

Methyl Paraben Preservative
Your home-made fruit fly cultures need some type of additive to keep the spoilage and mold at bay. Methyl Paraben is the most common and effective culture preservative available and will keep your cultures humming along for over a month. The quantity shown for purchase is the number of cultures that can be made with that amount (i.e. 10 Pack = Enough to make 10 Cultures)
