Summer, fruit fly cultures keep crashing.

[ColleenT]

i have had bad luck in winter, when the downstairs gets too dry. Humidity is def better, and not too hot. I have used both Josh's frogs mix, and also Repashy Superfly. I think the Superfly might be better in certain situations, but overall they work pretty much the same. I keep Hydei, which are bigger and my Azureus love them.

Someoen told me- always split a culture. When you buy one, mae one and dump a bunch of flies into the new culture, and keep splitting them, this way you save some money. the supplies can be found on Josh's frogs or other frog supply.
