DESCRIPTION:

THESE CULTURES ARE NOTREADY TO BE FED FROM. THESE ARE DEVELOPINGCULTURES, MEANING THEY WERE JUST SEEDED WITH FLIES ABOUT 5-7 DAYS AGO AND WILL NOT PRODUCE FOR ANOTHER 5-8 DAYS. ALL ADULT FLIES MAY DIE IN TRANSIT, THIS IS NORMAL. THIS IS THE ONLY STAGE WE SHIP WHOLESALE BESIDES FRESH, WHICH WE ALSO HAVE COMBO PACKS FOR. WE RECOMMEND ORDERING WEEKLY ANDFRONTLOAD YOUR STOCK TO ENSURE YOUR STORE HAS A RELIABLE STOCK OF FEED READY GOING.

We have hundreds of happy customers and our fruit flies are guaranteed to be amazing. We have optimized these cultures for years, and keep our strains of flies vigorous. We are extremely dedicated to providing a fantastic experience and consistent stock.

BENEFITS TO WINGLESS MELANOGASTER

1. Higher, faster yields. Hydei can take twice as long to reproduce.

2. Melanogaster outcompete mite cycle, hydei reproduce too slowly to do this, so you can never beat mites.

3. Eaten by all dart frogs, regardless of size.

4. Apterous melanogaster (wingless, not flightless), cannot covert to flying, like hydei and flightless can. No messy kitchens and annoying fliers!

Please read our DOA policies on flies under the information tab. This culture has just started (2-5 days old) and will come pre-seeded with 50-75 wingless fruit flies packed in FrogDaddy Media. Adults may be dead on arrival due to them being older flies. Dead adults does not warrant replacement…again this is normal. You are looking for actively moving maggots in the media. It will take approximately 7-14 days to produce flies from when you receive it depending on environmental conditions (60-65 degrees may take over 14 days, 70-74 7-9 days, 76-78 degrees 5-7 days).

If you make your own cultures from producing cultures, fresh from day 1 take around 9-20 days depending on temperature.

You can keepcultures in an enclosed bin with a small amount of ventilation with a heat pad on LOW to increase humidity and speed up breeding if you are in a dry, cool climate.

Under absolutely optimal conditions (79 degrees and 60+% humidity), you may have new flies in less than 10 days.
