Re: [Live-foods] fruit fly medium

["Bill" <Billinet at comcast_net>]

Hi,

The simplest medium is mashed, ripe bananas with a little yeast added.  Some
gelatin will stiffen the culture and make it easier to extract the flies.
Others have used mashed fruit, corn meal, and bread as media, each with
yeast added.  The deeper the culture, the more flies will be produced.

If you can find a copy of Masters' "Encyclopedia of Live Foods" it will
answer just about any question that you have of most live foods, including
the culture of cockroaches!

Good luck.

Bill
