I would toss any culture that had mites, You are just asking for a mite outbreak and to see all your frogs food suddenly be gone.

It is best to

1. Not buy any cultures that are showing signs it has mites

2. Buy cultures from reputable hobby sites. It not only supports the hobby, but nearly guarantees no mite or they will replace the culture for free.


If you setup a new culture from a culture with mites you are playing with fire.... So many horror stories of people who lost ALL their flies to mites.
