Each bag of Josh's Frogs Melanogaster Fruit Fly Media contains 5+ cups of fruit fly media. A bag of Josh's Frogs Melanogaster Fruit Fly Media makes 15 - 1\/3 cup cultures or 10 - 1\/2 cup cultures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMoisture Retention\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ql-indent-1\"\u003eThe biggest issue with fruit fly cultures is low humidity. That's why Josh's Frogs Fruit Fly Media uses powdered potatoes instead of potato flakes. This allows for a more thorough mix of the ingredients, but also allows the media to hold more water. This keeps the media from drying out and prematurely killing the culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNo Nasty Odor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ql-indent-1\"\u003eJosh's Frogs Fruit Fly Media contains two natural anti-bacterial\/anti-fungal ingredients.

If the cultures seem to be drying out (or molding), spray with RO water and use more water when making cultures. Josh’s Frogs recommends keeping the cultures in a plastic drawer system to prevent them from drying out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis media contains a mold inhibitor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePro Tip from the Manufacturer: \u003c\/strong\u003eIt's best to store media in the freezer so it stays as dry as possible. If the mold inhibitor within our recipe is exposed to moisture before a culture is made, it can deactivate the ingredient.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pangea Reptile LLC","offers":[{"title":"1.5 lbs","offer_id":59183239102796,"sku":"rhc1791887118565","price":6.38,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"3 lbs","offer_id":59183239135564,"sku":"wzx1791887118566","price":10.07,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1055\/2492\/0652\/files\/joshs-frogs-melanogaster-fruit-fly-media_1.webp?v=1791887123","url":"https:\/\/stylefreshstep.shop\/products\/joshs-frogs-melanogaster-fruit-fly-media","provider":"bangdoz","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
