Description
Highlights
- Instant Drosophila culture media
- Fortified with minerals and vitamins
- Includes trace elements and carotenoids
- Makes up to one culture per dry ounce
Repashy SuperFly is an instant culture medium for Drosophila fruit flies raised as feeders. The formula is fortified with minerals, trace elements, vitamins, and carotenoids to maximize the nutritional value of the flies when they are used as feed items. It gives keepers a ready culture base rather than requiring a homemade medium.
For a typical 32 oz. deli-container culture, mix Repashy SuperFly with 2/3 cup prepared water, using 3 tablespoons with boiling water or 4 tablespoons with hot tap water. Stir until blended and adjust with water or medium if needed; the finished mixture should flatten when the container is tapped on a table. Let it cool before adding flies and keep the culture at approximately 75F. Depending on temperature and species, larvae appear in 5-15 days and flies in 10-30 days.
Directions
To make a typical culture (32 oz. size deli container) add between 3 tablespoons (typical when using boiling water) and 4 tablespoons (typical when using hot tap water) SuperFly medium to 2/3 cup prepared water and stir until blended. Finished mixture should be thin enough to flatten out when container is tapped on table. Add water or medium to adjust consistency if necessary. Let cool before adding flies. Add flies and keep at approx 75F. Culture should begin to produce larvae in 5 – 15 days and flies in 10 – 30 days depending on temperature and species. Makes up to one culture per dry ounce.
