Review: Best fly food - Great product
Review: Very satisfied with ease of use and great breeding results - I hesitated breeding my own fruit flies after reading through dozens of culture medium recipes and horror stories of mites, mold, and awful odors. But the quality of flightless fruit flies at my local pet store was very hit-or-miss, and these flies were the primary food source for 15 spiderlings. So I decided to give it a go, and I chose this culture medium for my first attempt at breeding. It couldn't have been easier to use and had a pleasant scent. Most importantly, I've had incredible success. I've started 5 cultures so far, and every one has produced hundreds of active, healthy fruit flies with no issues like mold, mites, etc. I couldn't be happier, with a constant food supply and no more paying $11 for a small container of half-dead flies from the pet shop.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great culture media
*by S***I on April 3, 2025*

This Melanogaster Fruit Fly Culture Mix has been my go-to for consistently producing a good harvest of fruit flies. Every time I use it, I get plenty of healthy flies, and the cultures typically last around two months before they go bad. One trick I’ve found is using half of the recommended amount of mix—it actually gives me better results and makes the product last twice as long! The flies thrive, and the cultures stay in great condition. If you're looking for a reliable and cost-effective option for breeding Drosophila melanogaster, this is definitely worth it!
