NEKTON-Drosophila concentrate is a convenient premade mix
consisting of various vitamins and yeast. It allows for the quick and easy
production of high-quality fruit flies as a nutritional food source for
reptiles. Simply mix the concentrate with warm water to create a nutritious
breeding base within seconds.
The vitamins contained in NEKTON-Drosophila contribute to the development of
healthy, high-quality, and larger fruit flies. The size and activity of these
flies enhances the perception of them by reptiles during feeding.
The ideal room temperature for breeding is approximately 22-25 °C (71.6-77
°F). Fruit fly egg deposition ceases at higher temperatures. Depending on the
species or breed, the fruit fly (drosophila) can grow up to 3.5 cm long and
approximately 1 mm thick. The male fruit fly has a black end segment, while the
female has a brown end segment. After hatching from the white eggs, which are
approximately 0.55 mm long and 0.2 mm wide, maggots of a similar size emerge and
grow to around 5 mm long after three molts.
How to use:
Breeding with NEKTON-Drosophila concentrate doesn't require much effort. It
can be prepared without cooking. Mix or stir 1 part NEKTON-Drosophila
concentrate with 1.5 - 2 parts warm water (22-25 °C 71.6-77 °F), and the fruit
fly media is ready. Then add the media to a sealed, ventilated container. To the
same container add excelsior or coffee filters, and seed with flightless-flies
from an existing culture. It couldn't be easier!
Adding a few drops of vinegar (fruit vinegar) can accelerate the breeding
process. The thickness of the paste can be adjusted by adding water. The
prepared paste will eventually liquefy and provide optimal living conditions for
the maggots.
Storage:
NEKTON-Drosophila should be stored dry and out of sunlight, between 15°
and 25° C (59° and 77° F).
