🧫 How to Stop Mould in Fruit Fly Cultures: A Keeper’s Guide to Clean, Long-Lasting Media

🍌 Ever had your homemade fruit fly cultures go fuzzy and mouldy after just a few days?

You’re not alone — it’s one of the most common problems keepers face. But here’s the fix 👇

Most mould blooms happen because the mix is too wet, too warm, or missing a mould inhibitor.

A tiny pinch of food-grade methylparaben stops mould before it starts — and it’s completely safe for flies, frogs, and reptiles.

Or if you’d rather skip the guesswork, our Anti-Mould Fruit Fly Media comes ready-mixed and balanced for long-lasting cultures.

🧫 Learn exactly why cultures go mouldy and how to fix them — full guide now live on Frogfather.co.uk 🐸
