Superfly
Repashy Superfly is the gold standard in fruit fly culturing media for Drosophila species. It is the only commercial media we use here at Frontier Exotics and stand by it's quality. We have used this to culture our in-house fruit fly cultures for many years.
Directions
Add 1/4 cup Superfly to 2/3 cup HOT water (distilled or bottled if possible) and stir until blended. Finished mixture should be thin enough to flatten out when container is tapped on table. Let sit for a few hours to completely absorb water and cool down. Add water or media to adjust if necessary. Place surface area media (excelsior, coffee filters, etc.) into cup, pressing slightly into media. Add Flies and keep between 72-74F for best production. Culture should begin to produce larvae in 5-7 days and flies in 10-15 days depending on temperature.
