fruitfly cultures are not producing enough
Hello maybe someone can help me, I have to thrown out about 5 or 6 cultures due to not
producing flies. it'll start out about 50 larvae in about the 12th day then nothing, and the flies I started the cultures with are dead, I did see something smaller than a fruitfly in a couple of the cultures (I think mites) so I have washed everything with bleach and water and placed the media, cups, lids,dusting powders in the freezer and I've ordered new flies to start new cultures. does anyone know how this can be prevented in the future so I won't have to go through this again. any imput who be appreciated
Thanks
Dave
