Wingless Drosophila Melanogaster:
Insects have a very high nutritional value.
This is a small wingless fruitfly about 1/8 inch long. The reasons for it becoming so popular among
biologists are the same as those which make it popular among aquarists who use the insect so
extensively as a fish food. The fly passes through a life cycle in seven to ten days at warm
temperatures. They are one of the finest foods for conditioning breeders. They make an ideal
live food for most surface feeding fishes, lizards, small frogs, and birds. The fly's body is
soft and floats on the surface of the water, where it lives for hours before being eaten. For best
results, we recommend using our premium mold resistant medium. Each culture contains fruit flies food to
support the culture for up to one month.
